Looking for a taxidermist in Central Wa (Ellensburg or Yakima)
« on: December 30, 2009, 01:02:18 PM »
Howdy guys,
I recently went to Texas on an exotic sheep hunt and I brought back horns attached to part of the skull (I sawed off 2/3 of the skull).  I scraped the skin and crud off the skull and got some of the gunk out of the actual horns (which I didn't know were hollow prior to my hunt)  anyway...it is really close to being done, but my wife is getting pretty pissed looking at smelly ram horns in our house..so I have been given orders to get it finished professionally.  Please let me know where your shop is and how much (approx) is is gonna be to finish this for me.  Thanks guys

:yeah: He's also a member a of this site. I'm not an expert but I think the horns have to be removed from the skull to clean them properly. And the longer you wait the harder it is. Call Ric, he'll hook you up.

pat2bear:
 Your spot on the money. All horned game needs to have the outer horn removed or your in for big trouble come summer. horned game includes all sheep, goats bison and pronghorn antelope. All theses including exotics and domestic livestock have an inner membrane that will rot if not properly treated. In some cases I've heard of people injecting a preservative but in most cases they should be removed. On some African game the curve of the horn is so severe that removal is imposable without splitting the horn but that's probably not the case here. See Attached pic of a blue wildebeest I took in Africa in 07 This Blue had a good curve and we decided to leave the horns on. while they were treated in Port Elizabeth South Africa they haven't stunk up the shop yet so I think were OK
