Passing through Lampasas, Texas, we stopped into Rustler’s Junction and noted these taxidermied critters. Taxidermy ain’t cheap, y’all. That boat of animals was priced just under two grand.
How about this guy, getting into the Cracker Jacks? Even post-mortem, they’re STILL sneaky little buggers!
I get that taxidermy requires a lot of skill and time but I have never been able to fathom the price tag either.

It is so funny you equate it in that way as I always explain to my husband about how extortionate something is (usually some fee the schools are asking for) as it relates to a week’s worth of grocery shopping.

Pricey yes; but think of all the conversations it would start. And all of the tall tales that you could weave about it.

Wow, a packaged deal with trash pandas, fart squirrel and a passel of possums. Factoid of the day” female possums are called “jills” and males are “jacks”. Slow possums are often referred to as road kill.

I did not know that! When Jack falls down and breaks his crown, he might be roadkill, too.
