Last call for European mounts is Jan 1, I won’t be taking in any until next fall.
If you have anything to pickup feel free to stop and get it as I’m running short on tables and space

Getting full here… not going to accept any new customers for shoulder mounts. Pre-Existing customers only. I apologize, but I can only take what I can handle.
I am still accepting European mounts.
If you are looking for another taxidermist, my brother is on his own now.

Standard euro mounts are $120 this year. There is some science and experience that leads to a sustainably ivory skull. Try it yourself I’ll be glad to give you tips. But if you bring it to me I’ll have it done in a few weeks. A lot of calls saying “I tried it and now I want you to finish it”, once you start boiling the damage is already done.

Also doing CWD testing again this year. It’s free to you. All harvested deer are eligible.

I need a tag in my possession as long as I possess the hide/antlers (signed/ dated) Non negotiable.
If you need it for the meat.. tough nugies. There is only one acceptable portion and it sometimes goes to two places, so I will work with you on navigating that.
Prices are up a little. Don’t blame me 😉
Good luck! And remember, please care for your cape as if it were an organ you are bringing to someone in need.

We are full on shoulder mounts for this year. I am grateful for the business I’ve received thus far. Unfortunately there is not enough time to accept anymore mounts.
I am still taking European mounts.

Hide slippage is very common in weather above 40. With each degree warmer means more decomposition of the dermal layer (layer of hair follicle). A skin can still smell good but have slippage in areas of bacterial infiltration. Always cool the skin as rapidly as possible. Once the initial cooling has taken place you allow yourself much more time. As soon as the heart stops beating the body begins to return to the earth. Be fast.

European mounts:
To ensure the best quality remember this:
- keep the skull moist (best way is to leave skin on, even then don’t leave it out too long. The longer it’s out, the worse the bone will whiten. Blood stains become permanent once they cauterize in the bone.
- freeze if you need to take time to decide what you want to do with it.
- drop off as early as possible
