I’ve received multiple deer like this… deer that have been dead weeks, months, or years. When they are brought in as a rotten head, or even a cut skull cap left with all the flesh on it, it makes a lot of really unpleasant work. If you gag bringing it in to me, I’ll be gagging working on it. Whether it’s a whole head with green eyes and brain rotting inside, or something that needs to be rehydrated to get the old, dry skin off it, it takes a lot of work to get them cleaned and not stinking. If you don’t want to clean it yourself, pay to have it boiled out. If you bring a rotten head in, plan on an additional $100 fee, plus the cost of a spare cape.

Had a couple family pairs come in- a father/son duo, and a husband/wife duo! And then one single one with a big ol’ drop tine! With season quickly approaching, I have ONE customer deer left to mount! A few drying, a few ready for detailing next week, and then time to start all over again 😂💪

I hear a lot of people saying that the future of hunting is of great concern, and that ‘the kids just don’t get out hunting anymore’. I’m here to contradict that. 1/5 of the deer that came into my shop this year, were taken by hunters under the age of 18. I didn’t get pictures of all of them, but there were plenty. Most of the kids came in, beaming and smiling ear to ear as they showed off their trophies, many of them first deer ever. Several sets of siblings, and even when some adults bring in their deer, their little ones come with them, so excited for their dads’ big bucks. To me, those are precious moments to be a part of, as I remember myself and my siblings as kids, so excited to see the deer that our parents brought back, and dreaming of the day when we could get one of our own. As your local taxidermist, I can assure you, the future of hunting- is in great hands! ❤️ 🦌

Sometimes, they just come out looking pretty 😍

Tuesday, I will be making a tannery run and picking up my remaining hides. Down to the last 20!

If you still have deer in your freezer that you want mounted, you need to contact me and bring them before the weekend!

Almost 1k followers for my page! 🤯 that’s pretty mind blowing! If you’ve loved the work I’ve done for you, leave a review on my page! Reviews help build ratings! On a separate note- here is an example of how NOT to skin your deer for mounting. The brisket cut into almost non existence. Luckily, I had a few scrap pieces from multiple other deer from the previous days. 2 hours of sewing later… it’s not perfect, but for multiple other hides patched in… I’d say it’s pretty darn decent! Trying to get colors, patterns, and stitches to all line up and look ok… is actually really hard and time consuming work. If you have questions on skinning/caping, just call or text me! I will be more than happy to walk you through it… and it will make the process so much easier and nicer looking in the end!

Parents!! If your kiddos shot a deer this year and it came to me to be mounted, I will be doing a post just for the Jr. hunters! If you would like me to share a picture of them with their kills, send them to me via messenger! If you are not in favor of their faces being posted, I completely understand and will only post a picture of the finished mount. I had lots of young customers this year, and would love to highlight that, with parental permission! 🙂

I guess I haven’t really done too many shoutout posts, so here’s one. Over the years, I’ve met a lot of taxidermists, mostly through fb groups. Here are two that have been in the business way longer than I’ve been alive, and they know every trick in the book. Not only that, but they’ve shared a lot of that information with me, and are always available when I need help/advice. I’ve met Bob Coughlin at competitions, since he lives in NY, and we get a picture together every time. Glenn Long, however, lives 12 hours away in Alabama. This last week, after years of talking on the phone, I finally drove to Alabama and got to meet Glenn too! So thankful for both of these taxidermy legends! If you’ve noticed improvement in my work over the years, (I certainly hope you have, bc I’ve noticed it 😂) these two played a huge role in that!
