  • anyone here do taxidermy?

    Ill be shadowing/learning from a local this next winter. Only looking to do deer for myself. Then maybe try a coyote and bobcat.

    cat's are the hardest to master for many. Taxidermy is a very tedious art, I've tanned a few hides and that in itself is a pain.

      The reason i chose my taxidermist was because of his cats. They look like a bobcat should.

      Most people cant do cats.

      I only want to due my own, mainly because im picky and cheap. Ive got just about all the tools from my dad putting up trapping furs.

        You should have a good mentor then.

        When your dad was trapping he use snares or leg traps.

              I don't know anyone personally, but this guy seems to be pretty popular on the internet. I don't think he's local though.



              Sorry to yank your chain, I really do wish I could help.

                  I've stuffed a few "cats" in my day, bring me one of your lady friends and I'll show you how it's done.

                    I actually feel like Taxidermy would be the perfect job for Jester.

                      I dunno man. I could see him getting pissed off, grabing a gun and start shooting the form on his bench.

                      his tiki stuff is cool, and most good taxidermist are also good artist.

                        Built my stand today. Here is the deer im going to do. Dont mind the sweet wallpaper i have not got to that area yet. I've got to find a cape, order eyes and earliners and a few other small things and give it a shot.

                        Its going to be a bitch since that bases are 7 inches around on the antlers.

                            one of my grandpa's. It was shot in 1971, it scored 162 6/8 gross, with a net of 149 6/8 total spread of 26inches.

                            Its a monster 8.
