I feel like you get a lot of flak for uploading these kinds of pictures. I personally admire the time and effort that goes into taxidermy, but I know that others find it horrible. Is harsh criticism ever an issue for you?

I get it a lot, but unfortunately it's usually from kids or very uneducated young people. I get slammed for poaching or killing endangered animals,
when I have to sit here and try to explain to these people that wolves ARE NOT endangered, and culling predators is necessary to keep their
populations diverse and healthy. I also do not poach, heck I don't even hunt or skin animals myself due to lack of a space freezer currently.
But they never seem to understand that I buy these animals to make them into something educational and beautiful after death.

Case in point right below this comment. :/ I find your works beautiful. Keep up the hard work.~

Culling of wolves in the US is actually completely unnecessary. However, if you didn't kill the animal yourself, I don't understand why people feel the need to come and attack you for having your pelts. Besides, a lot of the messages I see about taxidermy are really rude and uncalled for. I'm sorry you gotta deal with that. :/

I don't really understand it. I guess it's just people who don't bother to even Google if wolves
are endangered and whatnot. My favorite are the people who call me a monster for killing wolves,
then say it's totes cool to kill deer or cows or something. I'm like "Ooh, favoritism, aren't you
just a knight in shining armor over there" xD

Oh yeah!! because if it's not cute and fluffy like a puppy dog then no one should care about it at all, right????

Like I genuinely don't think that trapping or killing of predators is necessary but a lot of the people who are "against hunting" really do only care about foxes or wolves (Never coyotes, though!!!! huh weird) and that level of favouritism is kind of annoying :////

YOU MONSTER!

NO, ME RAI, YOU STORYTHEOTTER

it's stormytheotter and yes, you are a monster

Indeed. I like to sleep under the beds of small children and occasionally appear in rouge indie movies.

I wish FA had a like button. This shit makes me laugh. xD

They tried to hire me onto the set of Monsters, Inc. but since they only offered me a background role
as a janitor I had to decline. My talent calls for the role of at least an electrician!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'M JUST FUCKING WITH YOU! LOL! XD

TROLL!

That's what they all say to avoid being attacked by my watchers B)

Not really but yeah.

I would adore to see him soft mounted! Especially due to his awesome size and beautiful coat, I feel it would be a better use of the pelt than just a simple headdress. You can show it off a little more that way, you know? Not to mention the amount of practice you'd get soft mounting that beast.

Haha gosh I would not soft mount him myself! I know I could do it, and do a semi-decent job, but my friend
does all my wolves! She's got my white wolf Pigwidgeon right now and is soft mounting him. I'm going to wait
until I get Pig back (and by the way she only does the heads, I sew the bodies) to decide what to do with
Brutus since he would make an absolutely GIGANTIC mount. I have a 79" wolf here beside me I was soft mounting
and even she is WAY big!

Ohgosh I forgot about the white one. xD Well, he would make the best kind of headdress anyway, though I almost fear he's too big even for that.
If he hangs like that on a door frame, he'd be dragging on the ground a decent bit when worn, right?

Yeah but that can be fixed, you roll him up a little in his back like a fat roll XD

Baha! I like the thought of that. xD
"It's okay buddy, we'll make this work.. no no you won't look fat I promise.."
