    I've a buddy who skinned a fox that he found on the road. I think he's trying to stuff a badger he found at the moe. I'll ask him if he has any tips.

    TBH I can't see the attraction...

    It's just an idea I had for a couple of artworks. I wanted to install stuff in dead animals. I'm not the most unsqueamish though so getting a pro to do it may be best.

    What? Like a car stereo? USB ports?

    I now have a mental image of a stuffed otter with a spoiler. That would be awesome.

    Yeah, was thinking put a woofer in a chicken and small speakers in small birds and mount em on springs. I like the boyracer otter though.

    Could be a savage art project, seriously though, AFAIK taxidermy is something that takes a while to pick up. As in apprenticeship while. Probably easier buying them pre-stuffed and going at them with a dremmel.
