First starling delivery
« on: January 22, 2010, 12:00:32 PM »
Well the taxidermist stopped by yesterday evening and picked up his first load of 20 plus starlings. He is doing competition taxidermy and is planning on using several of the starlings in various mounts. He said that when he comes back for the second load he will be bringing me 2 stuffed ones to use as decoys. I’ve been reading about some of your guy’s latest starling sightings and encounters. I’ve gotten to the point of only putting out suet on weekends, because it goes to fast during the week when I’m at work. The starlings around here come back every Saturday morning like clock work. I haven’t been able to get out much lately so reading about everyone else’s hunting adventures is what’s keeping.
