Hey Pick check out the painting I bought a few days ago. I got it from an old Honduran lady for 3 dollars, she claimed that she got from an even older Portuguese man who had brought it with him when he immigrated. It's dated 5/25/75 on the back. It's a little macabre I guess but I like it.

Dude is a wildlife biologist so of course he took it home with some idea about doing like some bird CSI poo poo on it with his wildlife-buddies but that never happened so now he just has this dead frozen hawk. A friend from college had a story like this about her father keeping a dead bat in the freezer for months, because he kept meaning to send it in for rabies testing and never got around to it. Her mother apparently poo poo bricks the first time she saw it; her parents later divorced, and while I know the marriage didn't end because of a freezer bat, I kind of imagine that came up at some point.

I once took a parasitology class. One thing we had to do for labs was find dead animals so we could do a parasite study on each one. This generally meant collecting roadkill (not strays, but wild animals) One day I was having a particularly productive day, and was loading a coyote into my trunk when a Highway Patrol officer pulled up and I had to explain exactly why I had 8 dead critters in the trunk of my Monza and was loading in another. That was somewhat awkward. "No, really officer! I'm not creepy! I just need to cut these dudes open so I can catalog the number and types of parasites I can find in each one, so I can produce a report about parasite loads and diversity!"

In the fridge door in an ethanol solution.

Bird law in the US is really intense, and it loving should be because before the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, we drat near lost all our loving birds. Like, the birds, no more birds. With mammals and reptiles, they have to prove you acquired a piece in defiance of legislation. With the MBTA, if you have pieces of a native bird, you have to prove it's legal. And it usually isn't, so, like, I just do not collect birds at all, with the exception of ostrich and emu because they're so obviously not a native species of bird (and not covered by the act). Also, those are common birds and ranched. I don't collect birds from other nations because the laws are not as stringent, and I do not want to promote any take of birds in another nation that would be covered by analogous legislation in my own country. That would be like the people who go to Thailand for sex. Pick fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Oct 31, 2017 |

It is ok because they're a tiny minority of my collection, such that it is clear that I am a natural history collector and some of the bits happened to have been taxidermied, not that I am a hunter who has personally bagged 80 species of rare crab

I was out in the woods yesterday attempting to shoot something like that but was unsuccessful. My brother in law got a pretty good whitetail though and when we went through the game check station the nerds from the university got all excited about their CWD research and took slices out of its cheek and went to town on its teeth with pliers
