A lot of items on the drying/finished wall. I have 8 to call for finished mounts. After almost a month wait the elk form finally arrived for the stud of an elk.

I have not forgotten about everyone, I will be photo dumping finished work soon.

As it sits now we are down to around 50 mounts to get mounted and drying. That is across these items, deer, elk, antelope, birds, fish, full bodies, bears.

All soft tans and euros are completed and I will be notifying the last couple of people today.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Not sure if this is still considered velvet or just a hairy racked 1st season buck.

Remember the start of your mount begins in the field, dragging a deer with a 4 wheeler or sometimes for long distances by hand can cause damage like this. If available use a cart or sled to help protect your trophy so we can provide you with the best mount.

This is area will be cut out and sewn back together to provide the customer with their desired mount. This is some of the basic techniques they teach in you taxidermy school.
