Tim - WOW - sorry - but we have all been through it - I had shot a HUGE grey squirrel back in my younger days - an old buck that had a fox squirrel colored tail - I mean HUGE - when I got it back it was the body was the size of a red squirrel - but its head was the size of a house cat - it was bizarre looking - I ended up burning it as well - I couldn't take looking at it every day - but I got what I paid for - my cousin did it for $75
