Shop has been busy his week. Not only did he get some African things drying, but he mounted an Otter that is drying. Yesterday he finally mounted a bear that he shot in "memory/honor" of our Uncle Waxie, who passed away the day before he shot this bear. It's taken him almost three years to want to get it back out of the freezer and mount it, but this week, he finally did. So, The bear is for you Uncle Wax!

I will post picture once all the mounts are dried and finish work done. These animals are all three quarters of the way finished.

We will be closing early today around 3 to head out for set up at an Expo. See you again on Monday, August 26th. 2024. Open at 8:00a.m.

We were brought a deer head to do a remount on a few weeks back. This morning, Adam had a chance to take it apart and take a look and see why it needed to be remounted. The mount isn't very old. We have no idea who mounted it before we got it, however we have a little something to say about it. lol.

Just a couple things that Adam was literally shocked by.
1. They used kids modeling clay around the ears and to hold the antlers on the form.
2. Ears were mounted with bondo and had been stuffed with newspaper. (no wonder they were crinkled up).
3. The eyes were put in completely backwards.
4. Epoxy was used as the "glue" to hold the hide to the entire face.
5. No glue was used to hold the hide to the form at all. They used Nails to hold the hide in place.
6. They used 3" finish nails to hold ears on the form and in the tear ducts of the eyes to keep it in place.

The only thing we can say..... DO NOT SACRIFICE QUALITY FOR PRICE FOLKS!!!!!!

We have heads out there that are 25 plus years old that don't need remounted.... this deer head is not very old at all and is a total redo. Adam can't remember exact age he said he thinks the guy said around 6 years old.

Folks, there is a right way and a wrong way to mount a deer head......THIS is the WRONG way. lol.

We have been busy planning and getting ready for our first annual Buck Pole for Eastern Kentucky. Very excited to be throwing this. Spread the word and share with friends and family. Great Prizes, we will announce prizes soon. One Grand prize is a Free Shoulder Mount. That is a $650.00 value. Looking forward to sharing more as we get closer to Nov. 9th. 2024.

SPONSORS NEEDED!

This year Grey Wolf Taxidermy is hosting an annual Buck Pole to be held on November 9th. starting at 9a.m. to close at 9:30 p.m.

We will have 4 Grand Prizes!
1. First Deer Hung.
2. First Youth Deer Hung.
3. Heaviest Deer Hung.
4. Most Points Hung.

Our hope is to get local sponsors to donate items to be able to put together "door prize goodie bags" for each hunter that registers their Buck.
We are in need of 3 Grand Prize sponsors. If you know anyone interested please shout a.s.a.p. We will be making an advertising sign to put out, so the sooner we get our sponsors the better. We would also like to offer our sponsors the opportunity to set up a small booth in our Quonset hut for the day.

How it works: You will bring your Kentucky buck to 3843 Ky. Route 201, Sitka, Ky. 41255. 606-265-4146 or 231-238-4512.

We will weigh it, count the points, Hang it for a picture. If weather permits, we will leave them to hang for the day, however, last year it was pretty warm, so most likely we will bring them down right after pictures so you can get them processed.

At 9:30 p.m. we will do our prizes. You must be present to win! So, make sure to come back at 9:30p.m.

We will have baked goods, chips, pop, and Chili available via donation.

There will be parking here at the shop and across the street.

Bring the family and friends. If you don't hunt, or haven't in awhile, come out anyhow and check out what the great outdoors has to offer folks.

Please take a moment to share our post with family and friends and send any possible sponsors my way. I am planning to be out next week to collect items from sponsors. Looking forward to a great Buck Pole!

Just a reminder that we will be hosting our very first Buck Pole here at Grey Wolf Taxidermy this coming Deer Season. Nov 9th. is first day of Modern Gun Season and our Buck Pole. More details to come closer to season. We are still looking for sponsor and we will be collecting all items starting in August. Spread the word and if you are willing to sponsor shout. I have a list started and will be in touch with all sponsors in August and September.

We plan to have lots of prizes and hopefully goodie bags for each person that hangs a buck. Definitely giving away a free shoulder mount, so you don't want to miss the chance at putting your buck on the wall for free. Looking forward to an amazing hunting season.

We thought we had handled the issue of "the unhappy customer" , however as we were in town yesterday we had complete strangers asking us what we did to the "flag deer". So, I am compelled to share with folks the ACTUAL CUSTOMERS own words from the message he sent us here on facebook after Adam had contacted him.

Hopefully this will take care of the negative talk around this issue. We guarantee our work and for the first time in 25 years we have an issue with a deer head due to a new product malfunction. Gage has been contacted and has been asked to bring his deer head back so we can easily fix the issue.

For all those that have heard talk, please do us a solid and feel free to share this post. Folks need to know the customer isn't the one spreading misinformed facebook posts, he sees us for what we are. Honest, hard working folks that will make the issue right. We appreciate him and his willingness to ask his family to take the misinformed posts down. Tells us he is a nice stand up guy.

This will hopefully be the last time we have to address this issue with the public. Thanks again.

Hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend. I know our family did. Turkey Season is getting ready to kick off, Have you made your way over to Rebel River Outfitters to grab your call yet? While you are there, probably should grab a fishing pole, summer is coming. lol.

Quick question: What type of Turkey mount is most preferred?

Strutting?
Flying?
Standing?
Shoulder mount?
Just the tail, spurs and wing feathers?

What say you?

Folks often ask us if we like owning a business. That is a tough question to answer from time to time.
We do have a lot of freedoms that most don't have. For example, we don't need approval to schedule a vacation. There isn't a boss to fire us if we have a bad day. Breaks are taken at will. Our shop is right here at the house, so we don't have to drive anywhere. lol. The profit made is used for our household. Tax deductions. We get to determine the price of our service, etc:

However, there are downsides as well. We are responsible for finding customers. It is up to us to make sure each and every customer is completely happy with our work. A lot of times we have to work longer hours than we would if we had a 9-5 job. It is difficult to keep prices more affordable when shipping and supplies have almost tripled. If the customer does not pay for their specimen, we do not get a paycheck.

So, it has it's pros and cons. Adam is amazing at what he does, so we haven't had many, if any unsatisfied customers with his work. Come check us out. Right off of 201 here in Sitka, just outside of Paintsville, Ky.
