Do you know if that's the natural velvet or did the taxidermist strip it and use the synthetic spray on? I know there's pros and cons for both methods. That looks like he left the natural on but I'm curious. They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
