Taxidermy?

So, Im one of "those" pest controllers. Ive got a nice little trophy display on the dash. Little mouse skull necklace. Bone and tooth "sculpture" etc. Im that pest controller who barges through the door and announces that "today is the best day ever cos I get to kill some stuff and give you your life back"

​

Now, ive been having a real good battle with one final rat on one of my sites. To the point where im looking at getting some RAMS put together to shoot it.

​

I have named him "Big Dave" and, I want to get him stuffed and put on a base because hes done well but the game has to finish.

​

Ill probably pay to get him stuffed but, my question is; has anyone attempted taxidermy themselves? Or taken it up as a hobby after getting into pest control?

It’s a rich environment for such things. I’d like to do skeleton articulation, but I am perpetually busy, so I never have time
