One of the fundamental aspects of my taxidermy practice, relies on the discovery of deceased animals in the wild. I have a lot of members of the public donate me various specimens that they have found whilst out on dog walks, hikes and whilst being out on the roads etc.

I cannot stress how important it is to observe a few details I will explain below, before picking up any dead animal you may have stumbled across, to adhere to legalities and rule out any unlawful activity, as well as protecting your own health.
