Western seasons are starting soon, as of July it is legal to bring back your head and cape intact to Minnesota. The skull plate does not need to be removed.

A few projects rolling out and headed home.

Finally! Keep your eyes and ears open, it looks like this finally made it through legislation.

These are new laws for Ohio, I hope Minnesota takes note. Giving hunters a reasonable avenue to get their animals home will help immensely with compliance.

Pretty successful first safari!

Crates coming in from last summer pretty steady. It’s always fun unpacking someone’s safari and calling them to let them know they’re stateside.

Some recent stuff ready to go.

Last call for Christmas/ stocking stuffers. Stop in the shop, message or call.

Calendars are back in for the Minnesota Taxidermy Guild raffle.
40.00 each. They went fast last year so get one now. If you roll them tight enough they also make great stocking stuffers and fly swatters.

If your out hunting this next week or so and shoot a buck, not necessarily a big one and want an antler plaque or a gift certificate let me know asap. I need a few heads for mouth and nose molding. They need to be fresh. Get ahold of me asap and we can make a deal!

It’s that time of year again! European mounts and antler plaques are eligible for a 50.00 discount if they are brought in with a cape that is in good condition.
2-1/2 year old deer and older without major ear, nose, or eye damage.
rotten or foul smelling skulls will not be accepted. If you don’t have time to get it to us fresh we don’t want it. Get it in a freezer if you need to.
One last thing the deer in the pic will have to have some habitat added or would have required a new cape. I’m told every year someone’s friend knows what they’re doing just to have to tell them they’re friend does not in fact know what they’re doing. We will cape your deer. If you need to do it leave extra cape on it.

Anyone else want to grab a case of beer with me and heckle people at the boat landing who decided to wait til the busiest day of the year to learn how to launch their boat?

I want to take a quick second to thank the Minnesota taxidermy guild and my peers there and the Lake Superior chapter of sci for a couple really cool awards the last few weeks.

03/30/2023

Set up at Lake Superior SCI with Bosveld Jacobs Safaris and Leland Ledford Taxidermy!

Wednesday at 530 Riaan Jacobs is coming to the shop for dinner and a Q&A on hunting in Africa. Come have dinner and maybe join our group this summer or plan for your own trip. Please let me know by Monday evening if you plan to come so we can plan for food.
