This buck was truly an impressive buck! The body on this 220lb Southern Maine buck was about as big as they get around these parts, but the rack is so big you wouldn’t know it. I haven’t done as much taxidermy as others, but this is the biggest deer form I’ve had to use yet. Congratulations Ben on a once in a lifetime buck! SUOL 24

This was the smallest bull that I took in last Fall and I think he mounted up the prettiest! It took a lot of work to make the form smaller. Took 2” of length out of neck, 5” of neck girth, 1” out of eye to nose, 1” out of skull plate, narrowed the shoulders and head… but the result was well worth it. Congratulations Taylor on a great trophy! .

Just a PSA… for some of the folks still dropping of deer from last week and previous clients for the rest of the season.

If you get a deer and you want to mount it, it needs to be skinned off the carcass as soon as possible, placed directly in a freezer or in a very cold cooler at your butcher for not more then two days, then either placed in a freezer after two days if you can’t drop it off or brought right in to me.

Butchers are meat cutters, there are very few that are also taxidermists. They specialize in butchering. Most are great people and work extremely hard and long hours this time of year. It is not the butchers responsibility to know how to handle your deer for taxidermy. Some have freezer space and some dont. Some get so busy and forget your deer cape didn’t make it into a freezer. It’s up to you if you want to have your deer mounted to make sure it gets handled correctly.

I had a customer with a cape yesterday that spent 8 days in a butchers cooler thinking it was frozen instead. Hopefully that deer can be saved 🤞. Today, I had another that wasn’t as many days in the cooler, but ruined none the less… it’s a bummer if this happens to you.

If you want a great mount, a lot of it starts the moment the deer is killed. Drag it out with a sled. Get it skinned and to me asap, if not… freeze it and bring it at your convenience.

FREE Antler Mount…

If you shoot a mature buck the rest of the season, but you’re not interested in getting a shoulder mount done, I will be offering free antler plaque mounts to four hunters.

I’m in need of four mature bucks, 3.5 years old or older, for molding and casting custom open mouth taxidermy parts. The buck needs to be freshly harvested.

Cut the head off the buck, preferably the day you harvest it, and bring it by asap. If the tongue is hanging out, neatly tuck it back in. The front teeth need to be in good shape and not broken from dragging.

If you can’t get the head to me asap, you can place it in the freezer and get it to me within a few days.

Just a reminder that you can tag your fur here. Tagged some beautiful marten, beavers, and a fisher yesterday.

Some beautiful deer have been dropped off the last couple of days. I don’t have pics for a fair number of them, but here are a few.

There is a good chance my books will be closed to new customers and only open to previous clients by the end of this week. If you got a deer the past few days and would like me to mount it, drop it off asap.

Thank you everyone for trusting me with your deer.

This year and going forward, all my moose mounts will have my custom molded nose and earliners. It’s taken me a little longer than hoped to get moose mounted since I had to make these molds, but I’m down to my last couple of moose. These parts are a big improvement over what I’ve used in the past.
