Thanks guys,
rprince,
My wife filmed me shooting that coyote. She is pretty cool with it. However, it is no longer hanging from the china cabinet. When I picked him up from the taxidermist I went to my mother-in-laws, went in the back door into the kitchen (where she was standing) and boldy ask "can I skin this coyote in here" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. She had a fit, left through the house. Of course I followed, carrying the coyote asking "Whats the matter, you act like you've never seen a mounted coyote". She finally caught on, but that initial look was worth the price for the taxidermy work. Got a pretty cool mother-in-law too.
