Shore European Mounts

09/15/2024

Just wrapped up a northern snakehead skull. Probably the hardest skull I've ever done. When it went through the beetles it separated into about 60 pieces (see last photo). Each had to be put back together without anything for reference but some internet pictures. I can't say I'll ever do another one, but sure is a cool skull!

Excited to announce I've got some new decals made! Because who doesn't love a good sika stag decal? These are available for purchase in white, black, or color. I can ship as well, $3/each

Just finished up this monster buck a client brought me for restoration. The deer had died in full velvet, most likely from EHD. Because of this, the rack was super porous and not fully hardened. In addition, 18 of the antler tips were broken or chewed off. For those curious, I rough scored it at 186.25 gross.

First steps were a thorough cleaning and peroxide bath. I then had to shape new antler tips by hand then sand them down to match. Next, I had to seal the antlers with a compound to cover the pores followed by another sanding.

Next up was the painting process beginning with a base coat of off white followed by a sealer. Next up was the first coat of brown, again followed by a sealer. This process continued through 6 colors, most subtle but adding depth and character. Last was lightly sanding the antlers to pull out the light under coatings like a buck rubbing. Then, a final seal.

Good luck this rifle season and stay safe out there. You all have kept me so busy with skulls this year I haven't even had time for a Facebook post! If you didn't have a chance to see it, we were featured in a article in the recent Shore monthly magazine.

It has been a very busy year! So busy i havent posted any pictures on here! I'd like to express my deepest gratitude towards all my loyal customers. I truly enjoy creating trophies that will memorialize your hunts for years to come.

As prices have risen over the last year on nearly everything I wanted to let my loyal customers and potential new customers know I will NOT be raising prices this year. I plan to offer the same high quality professional mounts, fast turnaround, and satisfaction guarantee as always. I want my customers to know they can still take their trophy to a taxidermist for a reasonable price and expect a great product. I can't promise there won't be price increases in the future, but for this entire season all standard deer European mounts will still be $80. (Velvet/speciality mounts extra) As a brand new hunting season comes into view I can't wait to see those harvests roll into the shop! Happy hunting!

My latest camo dip- I think the wetlands camo is a great fit for the sikas.
