We’re often asked, “What happens to the animals you shoot?”
While some are provided to taxidermists, others are given to local families for educational purposes.

The best part is both parents are paramedics, who could give the kids a running commentary on what they were finding.
While examining the vixen, the kids discovered three unborn pups still in their amniotic sacs.
Not only was this a good outcome for the property owner, it also provided the kids with an opportunity to observe first-hand how animals develop before birth.
