Another elk out the door for a customer.

10/19/2026

This cleaned up speeder is ready to go home. Customer wanted it natural. And when done right, a pronghorn skull can still come out fairly white without bleaching.

Tips for a quality Euro: keep the hide on and cool, or keep the bone wet/moist if it’s not going to get cleaned within a day after killing the animal. If it’s going to be a few days or more, freeze the skull (preferably hide on). If it’ll be a few days and the hide is off, wrap with a damp towel, then plastic wrap and freeze. Ultimately, with those tips, the bone comes out a lot whiter in the end.

Sweet, sweet September. First elk of the season is in the simmer pot to clean up the skull. This bull is going to be shoulder mounted, but at least this way it can be hung up and displayed until the cape is tanned and ready to mount.
And who doesn’t love elk ivories!

Happy hunting, everyone. It’s the best time of year.

Well here we are, another hunting season has started. Good luck to everyone this fall. If you happen to smack a trophy and would like the memory preserved, I’d be happy to do it for you.

Here are some tips to help preserve the hide so I can get you the best possible outcome in a mount.

- Get the hide off a quickly as possible and start cooling it down. Even laying it in the shade skin side up while you pack meat is a good idea.
- Do not salt it, unless you know how to do it to completion.
- Get the hide on ice and frozen as quickly as possible. Even once we get to November and it may be freezing overnight. There is no replacement for freezer frozen. Anything else can and will likely ruin the cape.
- DO NOT, please, do not cut the brisket or arm pits!
- If you think you have enough hide for a shoulder mount, take more. Cut well past the shoulder crease.
- You do not have to cape the head out if you’re not comfortable. It’ll be ok if you can get it into a cooler on ice relatively quickly.
- Tube out the legs if you can. And again, do not cut up into the armpits.
- Only cut straight up the back along the spine.

Happy Hunting. Be safe, be respectful, and send it!

Be sure to follow the SD Taxidermist Association page!

This past weekend I participated in the South Dakota Taxidermist Association convention. I entered my first two mounts into the Professional Division with an effort and goal of learning from the higher level judging.
I was very pleased to have received a 3rd place for each piece!
It was a wonderful event. The seminars, people, and information shared was incredible. I gained so much that I am excited to bring back into my next pieces.
Thank you to all who encouraged me and gave such great constructive criticism and critiques!! I am very grateful, and I am very proud of how I did.
