But when I make a good [taxidermy] mount I feel like I beat God in a small way. As though the Almighty said, Let such critter be dead, and I said, 'Fuck You, he can still play the banjo.

About This Quote

This quote is a great example of the perseverance and dedication required to be a taxidermist. I couldn’t even imagine how many deer he must have killed in his lifetime to make such a great mount. The only way for this person to get such great results was by spending long hours in the field. This person has seen his fair share of dead deer and knows all too well how hard it can be to gather the necessary pieces for a good mount. If he hadn’t spent so much time in the field, not only would his work not be as great, but he might not have even made it in the business at all.
