Here is a link of how the bull needs to be skinned for a good cape. You can also just tube the legs out so you dont cut the armpitts.

Thanks in advance and keep me in mind!!
By the way, I need good 3 year old (rag 4s or 5s) or bigger. No Cow elk capes or spikes, thanks!
Thanks, Charlie (Charlies Taxidermy)

OK truth is I haven't even seen an elk the last three seasons and I've been out for the full season everyday.

Mainly re-doing crappy elk mounts that other Taxis have done for people.

Think Highly of myself, NO, just re-doing crappy mounts that have been screwed up. Do you have a problem with that?? Did you here me say Im the best around ?? I do descent work buddy and its customers bringing me there mounts that basically suck and want me to re-do them, thats what most of the capes go on. Do I need to post some pictures??
Oh and I did not say ALL OTHERS WORK, just the CRAPPY work. There is a few real good Taxis In washington and I hope to be one of them some day. For now Im just average in my eyes.

Re-doing crappy mounts that have been screwed up?? I looked at your website says you have been doing this for ten plus years, that is called experience I am sure that when you first got into business you probably did some crappy work? So if I bring you a rocky mountain sheep to have done, how well can you do it? I see no pictures on your website of it?? In my mind someone that has done a ton of sheep may find your work crappy??? I am not starting a feud here, I think it is very egotistical for you to make a statement like that. I seen that there are other taxidermists on this site, I wonder how they feel??? But someone that has an opinion like yours will never get the true meaning of this statement so it is a mute subject. So why don’t you list the FEW good taxidermists in Washington state, so we all know that only them and of course yourself are the ones we should take our trophies to.. Thank you and have a very nice day…Re-doing crappy mounts that have been screwed up??

It comes across that way though. Charlie is extremely humble and extremely talented. His statement was about as neutral as I could see it posted. Generally people don't shell out that much cash unless they are fixing crappy work. Not sure how the sheep came up. H enever said anything about a sheep. Though for certain I'd look at Charlie for deer and for Cougar even, and most certainly bear. He does however have an incredible knack for elk. :twocents:
Now, someone bring him some capes so I don't have to listen to him whine anymore. :)

I have gone to Charlie's own business and called him on the phone to ask for his opinion, and not once has he turned me away or gave me anything other than a honest answer and for that it is always appriciated.
Egotistical I do not thinnk he is, as for crappy taxidermists there are truly a lot of them out there, it is a shame that some people do not realize what a mount should look like until they actually see one. Any one can slap a cape onto a form with a little bit of elmers glue and call it a mount. But when you can set the antlers, do the correct ear butts, have the definition in the eyes, make sure the tear ducts are correctly in place, the nose and the nostrils are anatomically correct and the mouth is lined up with the hair patterns then that is work of art and not a mount.

Charlie, I could have gotten you a bunch of capes that are hanging in the carports on the Skok Rez right now. They might be full of holes though.

Wow...livtohuntn. If you're still around, get informed before you start in on someone you don't even know.
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on November 07, 2009, 08:13:48 PM
Charlie did not mean that the way it sounded. More than likely didn't come out the way he ment. He was telling the truth. We use capes for all sorts of thing.
*Mounting Sheds that people have found.
*Replacing capes that hunters or guides have messed up beyond repair.
*Remounting old mounts.
*Yes, remounting other taxidermists work. Crappy or not if the customer doesn't like it and wants it remounted that that is what they are also used for.
People need to remember that no matter how good a taxidermist is every hunter has their personal expectations of what a mount should look like. Just like each taxidermist has their interpretation of what an animal looks like. Even when using live referance photos.
As far a Charlies ego goes. . . . You really don't know what you are talking about!

livtohuntn, since you were so concerned about the statement Charlie made you could have just PM'd him. I think you would have found out what type of a class act he really is, just like Michelle, Joe, Elkstuffer and all the other Taxidermist on here that share their skill and knowledge with anyone on this site that ask's for it.
