Title: One more off the bucket list.
Post by: BLKBEARKLR on November 17, 2010, 01:06:47 PM: Well when I started doing taxidermy there were certain animals that I wanted to do. So I made a bucket list, I now get to cross off number 17. This thing is by far the biggest thing that I have had in my shop and when I build the new shop without a doubt in my mind there will be a winch system installed.

That looks like alot of work. I can see where a hoist would be nice. That thing has to be over 100lbs.

Muley - He is going to need the wall space the cape took up an entire 8x10 tarp, and he wants the back half of the hide tanned also and that took up a 6x8 tarp

Dirty - I will make sure I post pictures, I am hoping to have all my stuff out the door by August.

Goldtip - It was a ranch bull, he has actually been drawn 9 times in Alaska where he was stationed and never could get on them around the delta area.

Quadra - It was well over a 100 pounds, took three of us to get it on the bench, if I had to guess the cape with the head in it was hitting close to 175-200 pounds, it was almost 2000 pounds on the hoof.

Thanks
Joe

Customer skinned him out. Right now I am up to 250 pounds of salt, he is going to the tannery tomorrow. There is no way that fricken thing will ever dry out in my trailer.
