This beautiful wall mount is for Chelsey and Jordan who came across a hit lynx; once they aquired the possesion paperwork we were able to create this mount. If ever you come across a slain wild animal don't hesitate to call us and inquire what you need to have possesion of it.

One of the best parts if being a taxidermist;
hearing our clients stories of how they downed their trophy.

Congratulations on a great year friends!

Happy Huntin' to all our past and new clients.

Here is a few examples of moose trophy rack mounting styles.

European/Texas mounts : are skull mounts - simply harvest the head and bring it in; Manuel will take care of the rest.

Rack Mount : the trophy rack is cut from the skull and molded to a plaque shield - there are alot of material wrapping options - including using the hide from the animal itself.

*note if your interesting in wrapping with hide make sure to bring it in as soon as possible especially if the weather is mild.

👌👌 hope y'all are enjoying duck hunting this season.

My wife is obsessed with this black duck's iridescent blue detailing.

Did you harvest a trophy migratory bird this season? To preserve it until you reach a Taxidermist remember these key things
1. Compress the bird being careful of it's feathers
2. Place is a plastic bag (clear works great as you can still show people it)
3. Squeeze out as air as possible
4. Mark your name in it and date
5. Freeze and bring to your local Taxidermist when your ready

- he loves Jesus and is the drummer is the band 'Shoeless'
- he loves having people hang out with him while he works
- he is a 'crazy gardener'; always looking for ways to expand his greenhouse and garden beds without me knowing
- when he works he always cranks the Christian Radio Station 102.1fm
- he has the biggest heart and loves to help

Today's post is a shout to my father in law Patrick Beaudry - a seasoned trapper and skinner

Strange but true fact about your local taxidermist - I am very allergic to the dander of basically all animals therefore I contract out the skinning to my father in law. He saves me from alot of sneezing and wheezing

Fox shoulder mount for Pascal

Tips for caring for fur bearing animals - make sure to keep the hide cool to help keep from the fur slipping. No one likes bald spots.

Taxidermy Tuesday

This mallard duck was mounted for the amazing owners Mike and Wendy - it can be seen inside their chalet

Did you know? 🎉🎉 Today is Floods Landing's Chalet second anniversary?!?!? We are definitely missing their warm vibes (and excellent burgers) this winter season.

So go and share some love on their insta or page

This amazing hawk mount for Seth was a pleasure to complete. The detail in each feather makes it truly eye catching.

Sometimes you come across perished animals, in order to legally have possession of them there is specific paper work to be completed. For more details on possession forms message your local taxidermist.
