Finally! The cinnamon black bear is FINISHED and delivered! For my first bear this one made me put in the work, from completely reconfiguring the mold to making the rocks to make the habitat a piece of art along with the custom base. I can say Im pretty proud of this one, and the client LOVES it. Heres to the first of hopefully many more awesome big lifesize animals.

This guy was brought to me after he fell off the wall, both horns were broken off and tip of his ear was broken as well. I fixed him up and also made sure he wouldn’t have the problem of falling again.

‼️TIP‼️
To the hunters that killed a buck but are just doing a euro…..if you plan on doing it yourself by putting it out in the pasture or ant pile, cut the hide off the skull. It will save you from having dried hide left on your skull, it also helps the skull from yellowing.

In the words of Bob Ross, there was a “happy little accident” with the cape. After staring at the cape for a while, I decided I would reach out to my customer with an idea…….

I had the chance to choose how this beautiful buck was mounted. I do believe I chose the perfect pose for this Oklahoma buck.

I had a customer bring in a pedestal mount that took a fall. The only damage that was noticeable was the nose. But after further examining the mount, I found many many issues and actually convinced the customer to trust me in completely redoing the entire mount. And all I can say is WTF?!? 🤬🤬🤬

I know the price this customer paid for this mount, and with every step of taking this mount apart the more and more angry I got. What’s so shameful is that people can charge outrageous prices for absolute s**t work, and still sleep at night.

The taxidermist didn’t bother to….
1.) clean the skull cap, as you can see it still had meat on it. (No idea how he didn’t have bug damage)
2.) rough the mold, the layer of mold release was still on the mold along with the mold number.
3.) the ears are about an inch thick with bondo (which I couldn’t repair)
4.) the eyes were caked with so much apoxie clay his eye lids almost touched the pupil of the eye. And painted to make the poor deer have black eyes.

I am only two years into my taxidermy business and I will stand behind all my work, if there is an issue with any job I’ve done I want my customers to bring them back to me so that I can make it right, because it’s my name on that work.

I CANNOT/WILL NOT understand how people don’t give a s**t about their own work, and not feel horrible for screwing people out of money.

‼️Hunters‼️
Today I had to contact a customer and tell them their cape was no good to use. It had way to much hair slippage to try to make work.
This cape had been taken to a processor, and kept there until the meat was ready for pick up.
When I received the head, I made note of how dried out the eyes and nose were. I contacted my customer and let them know of the damage that was already there. The cape wasn’t properly stored at the processor, to be used for the mounting process.
I want everyone to know that you can take your deer to your taxidermist before taking the meat to the processor, so you don’t run into problems like this.
Yes it’s legal, your taxidermist should have the documentation needed. The tag stays with the meat!
