    Hey if you really want it done NOW get whoever it is to send it to someone who can do it now.....if not well there is probably a reason you gave it to them and are willing to wait.

    Had this one sitting around for months now waiting for fathers day.......the dog has got quite attached to it.

    Who did it for you?
    It hasn’t worried me but I think I’ve heard every excuse in the book. I told last time I was a member of the Taupo NZDA, he didn’t realise that, he’s the president! Geeze never again!! I worried that he’s stuffed it!

    Deciding vote is leave it as is but man I want to trim that bit in front of the left forequarter...it looks like it has 3 front legs ffs

    We all know the stupid deer taste best but keeping a skin of a 5 legged mutant maybe a bit far?
