Just a little PSA

We are about to be posting a lot of finished products. With that being said, if you would like to use our services- please be advised that we are now charging $10/inch for improperly skinned animals.

When we take in deer, 90% of the time they are already caped and frozen. It’s hard to calculate how “bad” the cape is until after it’s tanned. While both of these customers were alerted of the poor condition prior to tanning, the reality of just how bad they were can clearly be seen here during the test fit.

If you aren’t confident in your caping skills- PLEASE reach out! This year, we will offer in house processing at our Kaplan, LA location.

Stay tuned to see the magic we worked on these bad boys 😅

Y’all should know by now that I’m all about “unique” & “out of the box” 😆

(That being said- the baby calf position has been filled so stay tuned on that project!)

But THIS… somebody needs this for their man cave I just know it!

May be looking for a truck bed soon 👀

Pro tip when using Matuska Taxidermy Supply Company pack mount kit- order extra EXTRA rope 😂 we’ll be adding the finishing touches to this big guy and he’ll be off to his forever home very soon!

When caping a deer:

Remember, your taxidermist is an artist but we are NOT magicians! When in doubt- MORE HIDE IS BEST.

Broadhead & bullet holes can be fixed, but please be conscious of where you are making your cuts.

Just a reminder for my Arkansas people entering the early season bow hunt or “velvet weekend”:

Velvet begins to decompose right after the deer is harvested, so it's best to get the antlers to a taxidermist as soon as possible.

Avoid pulling the deer around by the antlers, and keep the velvet out of the sun.

Get the deer in the freezer as soon as possible. You want to keep that head frozen until you get it to your taxidermist to prevent any deterioration.

Do NOT wrap the antlers in plastic!!

Happy hunting 🦌
