Any ideas on which taxidermist would do a crab and how much it would run?  I am also curios about field care for it :tup:

Try Over The Hill Taxidermy in Clearlake. He does fish replica's so I figure he'd do a crab.

I've got a bronze casting of one, not exactly a mount but I'm sure it smells better than jackmaster's idea.

A bronze casting would be awesome

I knew a guy that used to freeze dry them, along with shrimp and other critters but cant find him now. Freeze drying is the way to go IMO

I would love to make a beach/water scene with a few dungies, if you find someone let us know.

Here's a picture from the guy I'm talking about. He is out of port Angeles I was able to find his number, we'll see if he is still around.

I've got a call into him, I pulled this off an old old thread on another website. By the sound of his voicemail he still has the same number and is still in business, so we will see! I've wanted one ever since I saw the pics he was posting years ago
