River Rat Taxidermy

Good luck to the Illinois gun hunters this weekend!!!! The rumors are true I am swamped. The freezer space I have left is for EXSISTING customers only. We WILL Take heads for Europeans from anyone who calls , but as for shoulder mounts we are full for new clients. Guys who have used us before ,business as usual you know I won’t leave you hanging! Hope to get back to normal next year.

Unfortunately I am pressed with a predicament. Sad to say we will not be accepting waterfowl from new customers the rest of the season. Also we have cut fish taxidermy out all together. Have a few deer spots left but then we will be focused on catching up on backlog rather then adding to it. I will not leave existing customers hanging. But this is where we are at. Hopefully business as usual for 2025 is the goal!!

Big Illinois gobbler mounted for Mr jared root. I must say with a 13 1/4 inch rope this bird is quite impressive!!!!

Me and my buddy Joey went on the Lewes hunting strategies podcast Sunday to talk about the do’s and don’ts of taxidermy. I’m very camera shy and not one to step to far out of my comfort zone. With a little push it went WAY better then expected. It was honestly a blast. Give it a listen if you want here is the link
