Dead OwL

As you may (or may not) recall this pic in a previous post, this was an owl found along side the road somewhere in South Dakota. Lock is pictured cutting the talons off. Those suckers were carried in Colleen's purse all week, forgotten to be handed over to me, and then shipped from Milwaukee to Connecticut. Those suckers have done some traveling, not to mention where they have been attached to their owner.

Fast forward almost a year later. Said talon is flanked by 2 badger claws (these I found at some crazy taxiderm place along side the road also in S.D.) I gave it to a friend for his birthday thinking it would either end up on his rat bike or around his neck....We shall see. Feel free to contact me if you wanna send any carcs or pieces thereof...
