Molon Labe, not to take anything away from Rich's prideful achievement, but there's a reason hunters stand
behind the critter they shot: It looks much bigger, that way. (A ton of irate cow will ALWAYS be impressive, of course.)
For that matter, taxidermists get into the act, too. I have a shoulder-mount antelope on the wall. When I shot him, he dressed out maybe a hundred pounds. After the taxidermist got done stretching the hide over the mold, he looks like he'd have gone 150!
