First 6 euros are ready to go home. I have a few more still Degreasing. I’ll be sending out messages to individuals whose are ready to be picked up. If you don’t have a message from me this evening then yours is still in work. Please be patient some skulls take longer to get degreased than others and I want to you have a nice clean mount.

For those getting shoulder mounts, I have most capes back from the tanner and have started mounting. I’ll be reaching out to you letting you know when I start yours. I mount them in order they were received into the shop. After you receive a notification it will be about 4 weeks until it’s ready to be picked up

Bird guys. I’ve received most of my supplies. There are a few heads and eyes that are on back order. I’m looking at other suppliers to see what they have. I’ll contact you when I start your mount

Small mammal mounts and soft tans. all hides are still at the tanner. I’ll be checking in with him shortly to get an update. Please be patient, he is working hard to get everything to us taxidermist as quickly as he can

Thank you all again for making this a great year. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertising. Remember if you refer someone I’ll give you both a 10% discount

Stay safe and take a kid with you wether your hunting, trapping, or fishing. The memories you make will last a lifetime and the lessons you pass on will ensure future generations learn to be safe and respectful

Good evening all. Just wanted to give everyone a quick update and say thank you to all who have trusted Country Critters with their mounts. This last year I took in more than double the work from the previous year. I’ve already out grown my current shop. The plan is to build a bigger shop on my property just east of Boynton. If all goes as planned the shop will be complete by the 2023 deer season and I’ll be working from both shops for a while. By summer of 2024 I hope to be completely moved to the new location.

Heres a quick update on what’s currently in process in the shop

Oct-Nov euro mounts are almost finished. Plaques have been ordered. Just a couple more weeks and these will be ready to go home. These have taken a little longer to degrease than expected So I’m running a couple weeks behind. Quality is number 1 and if that means it takes a little longer I’m sure you won’t mind

Oct-Nov shoulder mounts. Capes are tanned and forms have been ordered. I’ll start mounting as soon as the forms are in. Still on track for a 6 to 8 month ready for pickup

Bird mounts. Still on track for a 6 to 8 month pick up. I have a variety of Ducks and a couple Pheasant. I’ll post pics once complete

Life size mounts, all hides are at the tanner. still on track for a 6 to 8 month pick up. I have several small mammals. I’ll post pics once complete

Soft tan hides, all hides are at the tanner. Deer hides should be ready soon. Others will still be a while before they are finished. I’ll keep you updated as I hear more from the tanner

As always if anyone has any questions please don’t hesitate to give me a shout. Please remember referrals get you a 10% discount. I’ve already had several take advantage of this and I greatly appreciate it. The best way to grow is by word of mouth and this last year proves it. Thank you all again for a great year. Good luck and stay safe. I look forward to seeing everyone again and meeting new clients

Good morning all. I hope everyone is having a great deer season. Trapping season opened up December 1st and Country Critters is happy to announce that we can now tag your Bobcats and Otters for the ODWC. Please pass this along to all your trapping friends. As always please call ahead to make sure I’m in the shop. Good luck to everyone and keep those chains tight

I hope everyone is staying safe and enjoying the outdoors. Even if you haven’t seen anything yet, it’s still great to get out and enjoy everything nature has to offer

I wanted to welcome all the new page followers and say Thank you. This is the first year I’ve really started trying to use Social Media for business and the followers have doubled since last year

I also wanted to thank again those whom have already dropped off deer this season. Ive taken the first batch to get tanned and should have them back by January.

To say thank you to everyone, I’m starting a referral program. If you are a current client and you refer someone I’ll give both of you a 10% discount. For deer shoulder mount, That’s a savings of about $67. For both of you. If your a former client and you refer some one, I’ll give you your 10% off your next mount. Just make sure whoever you refer tells me you sent them. I’ll try and keep good records but please remind me when you bring in your next mount. The referral program will work regardless of the species being mounted and the saving will vary depending on the species and type of mount. Only one discount can be applied to a mount at any time. If you refer multiple new clients I’ll do my best to keep track of the total number of referrals and apply them accordingly 1 per future mount. The discount only applies to the specimen being preserved, any additional custom habitat or accessories including plaques and pedestals will not be eligible for a discount

To say thank you to all our Veterans and First Responders, that includes Police, Fire and EMS, I’d also like to offer you a 10% discount. As with the above only 1 discount can be applied to a mount at any one time and the discount only applies to the specimen being preserved

As I’ve said before if you have any questions on how to Preserve your specimen until you can get it to my shop, please don’t hesitate to give me a call or shoot me a message via txt or messenger

Happy hunting and please stay safe

Please remember when caping your deer, do not cut across the brisket or through the arm pits. Always leave more cape than you think will be needed. I can always remove what is not needed. It gets costly if you don’t leave enough and I have to make a custome habitat to hide the shortage or order you another cape

11/10/2022

Good day everyone. I’ve been getting a lot of calls from people price checking. I’ve talked to several other Taxidermists who have been receiving the same type calls. Please don’t base your decision on what taxidermists to use on price alone. Take a look at their work. In the words of another taxidermist “skilled taxidermist are not cheap and cheap taxidermist are not skilled”. This is a memory you want preserved for a lifetime. You put the time, effort, and money into your hunt. Do the same with your taxidermist

If you have any questions on how to cape or preserve your specimen prior to getting it to a taxidermist, please don’t hesitate to give me a call 918-724-0491

Good luck everyone and stay safe

Hello everyone. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable summer. It’s getting close to that time, less than 2 months until the start of Oklahoma’s deer season. With that being said, This year the taxidermy industry has taken a pretty big hit on supplies, from the price of consumable material such as Bondo going from $17 a gallon last year to almost $45 a gallon this year to the long delays in getting deer forms from the manufacturers. A majority of taxidermist have chosen to raise their rates and extended their lead time for completion out to 12 to 14 months and some even longer. I’ve decided to keep my rates the same this year and limit the number of mounts I take in to keep my lead times to around 8 to 10 months max (providing I can get materials in a reasonable amount of time) the only real increase I’ve made is to Euro mounts. I have a new process that is slightly more expensive and takes longer but I believe provides a far better result. You can check out my updated price list on my website www.countrycritterstaxidermy(dot)com. Sorry if I put the actual link FB doesn’t like it and will throttle back my page views.

I’ve also decided to make payment plans possible. I still require 50% down at drop off but spreading the other 50% over the 8 to 10 month lead time should help make getting your trophy mounted a little more affordable. All mounts will still need to be fully paid for prior to pickup.

Last year I had several deer mounts come in with the cape cut a little too short in the brisket area or cuts made incorrectly. I have a diagram on my website to help show where to make your cuts and if you have any questions on caping your mount or skinning a small mammal, please don’t hesitate to give me a call. It will save you money I promise you. Short capes either have to be replaced or habitat has to be built to hide bare form

I want to say thank you to all my customers that made last year a great year. Helping to preserve those special memories is what we do so Please share the page and website with all your hunting/trapping friends.

I hope everyone has a safe and bountiful season and hope to see ya soon

3 more finished and ready to go home

A couple very happy customers took These 2 home last week. Had to create a custom habitat on one to hide where the brisket was cut a litttle short. Remember the more cape you leave the better. We can always remove what we don’t need. Both deer were the customers first to ever get mounted. Congratulations and thank you for allowing Country Critters to preserve your special memories

Phone camera just doesn’t do justice. The lamp light really looks amazing reflecting off the wood ducks back
