Post by: sirmissalot on March 21, 2012, 08:33:21 AM: I agree its most likely freeze dried. I knew a guy on a fishing forum that did taxidermy work and had a freeze drier, he showed some dungeness crabs he had done they were really cool it made me want one.

Post by: BLKBEARKLR on March 21, 2012, 09:30:37 PM: Something like doing that, I am quite sure I would not send it in to have it freeze dried, better off to take each piece apart and remove the meat and then treat it like you would a fish, either a fish tan, borax, or DA. Then put it all back together and epoxie joints back. Then repaint it.

Post by: Crabtaxman on October 17, 2012, 10:42:55 PM: you bet. Drop me a line, I have been the best in the field since the 90s. The one on tv was nice work if a reproduction is what you are after. My work is not drying a dead crab on a board like 99% of the other mounts on the market...

It is my email. No web site and fly under the radar up here in ak.... To tell the truth, I did see one other mount that is worthy of praise, a taxer out of wa won a tax compitition a couple of years back but was a one off effort. I stopped counting mounts at 500 of so,

A pic of my most famous mount can be found at

The last 6 govs up here have displayed my work on their desks, guess only one became famous?
