Re: Real Life Taxidermy
That's very cool. Always thought it would be fun to learn how to do it. May have to try it some day. I'm currently waiting on my buck from this past season to get finished. The guy said end of march but I still haven't heard from him. What's your favorite mount that you've ever done?

Re: Real Life Taxidermy
I was a fan of full body until I saw how much they cost
When I dropped my deer off, the guy was working on a deer that had a nasal infection when it was shot and it's nose was swollen up like a balloon. The guy wanted it mounted that way. It was the weirdest looking mount I've ever seen.

Hahahha thats funny, the guy who brought the 55lb red coloured wolf relised it had a tracking collar on it so he brought it somewhere and got it traded for a deactivated one so he could have it on the full body, should look goodInstinctiveArcher wrote:I was a fan of full body until I saw how much they cost

Re: Real Life Taxidermy
Damn! That IS some great work! Do you guys also do fish replicas? Like if the length and girth measurements were provided along with a couple of pictures, or do you guys just do straight taxidermy? I am curious because I plan on having a few fish mounted this year (replicas of course), and would be happy to talk to you guys about doin them.
