Bill Geist at National Taxidermy Championship-CBS Sunday Morning


CBS' offbeat reporter Bill Geist attends the National Taxidermy Championship, which he calls "a beauty pageant for inanimate animals." As he puts it, "there's something creepy about stuffed animals and the men who mount them." I agree with you, Bill, even if that's not what you meant. :) Bill Geist can be seen regularly on CBS SUNDAY MORNING.

They do not need to be killed to be mounted. An animal that died of natural causes can be mounted just as well as one that was hunted. Yes, it is an art form in my opinion. Maybe you do not understand the amount of effort and skill it takes to do this kind of work. A crime? I'm not even going to get into that argument. And your analogy about graffiti is terrible. You can not compare someone mounting an animal they hunted legally and someone who defaces someone else property. Apples to oranges.
