Mink taxidermy
« on: October 05, 2013, 09:56:10 PM »
So I have this buddy who was driving to work the other morning and saw something unusual along side the road. Turned around and happened to find a large road kill mink in perfect condition. My friend is curious how he can go about possibly getting a cool little mount done on this critter..... Anyone know the legalities or even better which taxi on the site can possibly help my buddy out? It's in his freezer begging to be mounted on a cool little piece of wood...He's hate to see such a cool little animal go to waste. Thanks!!

Illegal to pick up road kill in the state of Washington.  He is going to have to toss it.

Ahhhh.  Then he needs to check with a local taxi to see if it is legal in his state.

I guess I should have specified that. He lives and works in North Dakota. Has a house here too. Found it driving home in ND. If no taxis on the site can do it I'll just tell him to get a Van Dykes catalogue and try it himself lol

I am sure any taxidermist on this site can do the mount.  The question is if it is legal in ND to pick up road kill.  If it is illegal than we (taxidermists) can't touch it because it wasn't legally acquired.

Gotcha. So he'd probably need a ND mink tag then I'm assuming for a Wa taxi to handle it legally right?

 Your buddy will be better off burying it. Two reasons, can't poses wildlife found dead, and taxidermist could only take it in from someone with a trapping license, because it's a fur bearer. Hope that helps.

Yeah I had a feeling he'd need a fur bearer license. I even told him that. I told him to do it himself and if he was any good he could start doing my deer for me!!

lol,good plan. But it all depends on what North Dakotas laws are, some states allow you to pick the dead critters up. We can take things in from any state as long as they're taken legally.

Good info I'll pass it along thanks! What does a mount like that typically cost?

Kind of guessing, since I'm not at the shop, but $300-$400, ball park.

As long as he has legally acquired and allowed to posses the animal in ND than a Washington Taxidermist can mount it.  Why doesn't he just use a Taxidermist in ND?  Not all the good taxidermists live in Washington.  LMAO.
