Why should they be exempt? The state owns the deer not the landowner We feed those state owned deer. When the state reimburses that cost....and the taxes for the woods those state owned deer live in, we'll talk. Very true. Also as said by other posters, we landowners do not always hunt our own land. So with that being said we would be purchasing a license and also be paying an extra $3.75 that non landowners are not paying. As landowners I believe we do plenty extra for conservation that we deserve to harvest a deer or turkey that we are feeding.

There is such a small amount of meat that the Borax will do if you want to do it yourself. But to do it right for something like the picture a taxidermist would be your best bet. I would reccomend freeze drying the foot which will keep it from shrinking and will preserve it forever. If you are interested give me a call chances are I will be here when you call if not I will call you back.

I would go with the HD series semi sneak form from Mckenzie and one ear forward and one ear back. This has been one of the more popular forms my clients are choosing this year. And the one ear forward and one back is just an added touch.

I would not boil the skull this will weaken the bone. You can simmer the skull without bringing to a boil and remove the meat and small amount of grease. And then if you choose to use a kit that should work fine for you without having to worry about bugs later.

Do not put the hoof anywhere near boiling water, this is bad advice Unless you just want the hoof with no bone inside. The Borax is not bad if you just want to preserve it. I would remove the hoof at the joint right above it. If you do it correctly it will not be to hard to do. I would then bury it in Borax like mentioned. Borax will just be a topical solution and will not soak into bone. It will just act as a dessicant and dry out the skin and the very small amount of flesh underneath and will help bug proof it. If you have any questions feel free to drop me an e-mail at buckspromount@comcast.net

I would drive about an hour or so south east and bring it to me. lol But if I were to suggest a fellow taxidermist in that area it would be Butch Stoops of Stoops Big Game Taxidermy in Mulberry. He is a good friend of mine the work is top notch.

Thanks Budd, I will definately keep you in mind for the martin. I think they are neat animals and would love to mount one for a display piece. I am state and federally licensed Indiana taxidermist so I can possess anything legal. Thanks again.

I know most everyone has deer and deer hunting on the brain. I thought I would change it up a bit and show off this King Salmon Reproduction I just did for Daryl Wilson of Indiana. It is a trophy fish he caught in Ketchikan Alaska. I want to thank Daryl for Choosing Buck's Pro Mount Taxidermy to do his trophy of a lifetime.

That is not bad pricing at all. $60.00 is about average for a cape unless it is huge and then you could get much more. Thanks for the reply.

This deer scored 188-6/8" and was taken by Dale Barlow of Waldron, IN and was harvested in Union County, Indiana. I appreciate the opportunity to mount such an animal and also Dale for choosing me to be his taxidermist.

I just want to offer my assistance and a few tips for the season as far as taxidermy goes. I am not saying this for my benefit because I am a taxidermist but for other taxidermists and customers as well. First off do your homework. We all now that the majority of hunters are going to fall into the category of making calls to every taxidermist on the list looking for the cheapest mount. These are the dreaded price shoppers we as taxidermists have to deal with every year. The only person who will close the deal with the price shoppers are the cheap taxidermists who promise fast turnaround times. Mistake number one. These taxidermists are usually new guys or really old time taxidermist who are not up to date. They are priced low to take in as much work as they can get and normally the work barely resembles the animal you consider your trophy. The turnaround times they promise are more than likely not going to be kept due to the amount of work they took in. I am all for saving money but come on doesn't the animal you call your trophy deserve more than this? 2nd expect to pay a deposit for the mount when you take it to the taxidermist. This is usually about a 50% deposit so expect it, and not all taxidermists take credit cards so be prepared to take cash or phone ahead and ask. 3rd make sure you ask the taxidermist questions like how long have you done taxidermy, what is the turnaround time, do you tan your skins or use dry preservative etc. In my opinion dry preservative is not the best option. Tanning is in my opinion the best because it is more stable and the skin is actually turned in to leather. Dry preserve is nothing more than a raw skin that is allowed to dry on the mannikin. It is more than likely going to crack around the eyes and cannot withstand temperature changes or humidity as well as tanned. 4th try not bugging the taxidermist. If they give you a turnaround time that is just an estimate. Do not call at least until after the turnaround time they gave you. If it is done before the turnaround time great that is a bonus for you. And if you are one of the guys who calls numerous times checking on your mount before the turnaround time (which happens many times each year). If this you then make sure to set the money aside and be ready when it is done. Try to remember taxidermists are just like you they have bills to pay. And if you are not paying them they nay not be able to pay there bills. Every year the people who do not pick up mounts when they are done and I call are 9 times out of 10 the ones who bugged me thru the whole process. Like I said this is just a bit of info to think about if you get that trophy. The main thing to remember is "You get what you pay for" and that is very true in taxidermy so do your homework and get refereces if possible. That animal you work hard to get and call your trophy deserves better than just picking a cheap taxidermist to save a few dollars. And as always if you have any questions I can answer feel free to call. (317) 861-4783
