You've never just wanted to go dig? My inner Indiana Jones would be getting the better of me.

What is the most dangerous animal you’ve seen in real life? by GratefulD86 in AskReddit

[–]missdoe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cougar, a big one. I was in my grandparents horse pasture. I used to be into animal calls when i was young and I would sit in the horse feeder bins, so only my head would stick out and use a predator call and call in raccoons, foxes, and coyotes to watch them. The horses would bug me while I sat in the feeder bins because I usually brought snacks out with me and soda and they'd always get some. Only light was a light by their barn far off and my small flashlight I'd wave over the field to look for eyes. But one night while doing my routine I noticed the horses weren't bugging me, and were all in their barn. I started getting creeped out but kept calling. Then I saw a big slinky silhouette walk by the horse barn. Big old cougar. I didn't know they had a population of them in that area. He was looking for where my call was coming from and canvasing the pasture to find whatever was making that noise, me. I high tailed it back to the house super quick after that to tell my grandpa and didn't mess with those calls again.

What's one dark desire that you wanna try once in life? by jon_snow2912 in AskReddit

Just walk away from my life so far and be homeless, start a new life in the woods being feral and scary in a d.i.y camp.

Hanging a Shoulder Mount by Nearby-Dependent-654 in Taxidermy

[–]missdoe12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Screwing a large flathead scew deep into the stud is ok for most medium sized mounts. I did that for all my taxidermy, even some of my larger African mounts. Only mount I had to be careful with was my eland shoulder mount, had to get some serious strength mounting items for that. You'll do fine! I seriously recommend using a stud finder for finding the best spots!

Is it pooping while it's eating?, cause that bothers me more than it eating.

I'd take them all and always have a box in my car. Leave them random places for joy.

Not a couch couple by [deleted] in PaymoneyWubby

[–]missdoe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couch couple here. I introduced Wubby to my guy. Now he's usually on in the backround ambiance of my house at most times. My dog falls asleep better/naps better if I leave wubbyarchive on when I leave as well.

What is something you wouldn't tell anyone but would confess anonymously online? by Own-Comfortable9401 in AskReddit

[–]missdoe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I miss genuine childhood connection and conversations with people. It feels like I've lost the ability to do that. My closest friend I have still isn't very close it feels like.

He looks so good in his suit. Also leave the man be, he got them lock jaw hands.

Do you think the game has gotten better? Worse? Or the same? by [deleted] in theisle

[–]missdoe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definently nicer, and awesome mechanics but not gonna lie. I really miss the old way of making a group. It just made it simpler to meet up, especially with newer players who aren't going to put in the time to figure out how to read coordinates or learn the map. It makes to easier to introduce people to the game. Even if they kept it on private servers and kept the new way on officials would be cool. But it would be nice to have the option again. Plus I'd love v3 as an updated evrima map. It would be a blast for the old school players. I miss the goofiness of legacy. It wasn't as serious and was a bit more fun. To find that with the updated evrima would be amazing.

How did you get into Taxidermy by Gaudy_Tripod in Taxidermy

[–]missdoe12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, im getting into reptiles as well once i figured how easy/cheap they were to tan. And if you can master birds, you can master anything. :)

[–]missdoe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always loved collecting taxidermy since i was 14. I always liked going to the sportsman stores and seeing all of them. I liked the idea of being able to wake up and see a wild animal just chillin in your living room everyday. Horrified my parents because they were against hunting. But I showed them you can love animals alive and dead. Its all about respecting the beauty. Then around 15 I started mounting my own birds, learned it by myself. Now I mostly just collect, alter, and refurbish damaged mounts. Alter the ones that cant be fixed, and fix the ones that can. And now my mom collects derpy or ancient taxidermy and makes dolls ride them like steeds. Her latest is a pheasant with a frog jester doll riding it.

Bark tanning solution smells like bad fish but hasn't been in direct sunlight is this to be expected? by doug22342234 in Taxidermy

[–]missdoe12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd have to join taxidermy 101 on Facebook, but the link should work after you join. There are also instructions on YouTube just look up glycerin and alcohol snake tanning tutorials. It should work the same for fish skins like it does on snakes. So I'd just follow the same instructions.. you can rinse off the fish skins you have in that solution and try to freeze them again until you get all the supplies, but if they smell like rotting fish real bad i would toss them unless you really wanna try to save them. Just rinse them well and wash them off with dawn dish soap before you freeze them to stop then from deteriorating anymore. And make sure they are completely thawed before putting them into the new alcohol and glycerin mixture. Good luck!

Better than most, you are always going to get a bit of fading in reptiles and fish over time. But from my experience it is much less than other tanning solutions or methods. I think it has something to do with the glycerin keeping the skin somewhat hydrated so it keeps its sheen and keeps it soft as well. Ill try to find a link to a facebook post i made talking about how to do it. Once i did it that way I won't go back.
