SOME THINGS TO UNDERSTAND. TED TRIED TO WORK WITH THE NRA AND THE CODY MUSEUM WAY BACK IN THE LATE 1980s. I WAS ON THE BOARD. HE WAS TREATED SHABBILY BY BOTH. CABELA'S TAXIDERMY DEPT FINALLY WENT WITH THE MUSEUM IDEA IN 2006. IN ALL THIS TIME THEY HAVE NEVER, EVER, EVER ADVERTIZED IT IN A SINGLE FLIER, CATALOG, PIECE OF LITERATURE--NOTHING. YOU WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS IN THE STORE IF YOU DIDN'T STUMBLE OVER. THEY TOOK POOR CARE OF IT ALSO. ALMOST ALWAYS DUSTY, LIGHTS BURNED OUT AND THE MANNIQUIN OFTEN DID NOT WORK. BY THE WAY THE WORDS FROM THE MAAIQUIN WERE PUT TOGETHER BY ME AND UTTERED BY AN IMPERSONATOR--VERY GOOD ONE. AS FAR AS KEEPING THE COLLECTION IN THE FAMILY, CONSIDER THE INSURANCE AND SECURITY REQUIRED.
