So in 2019 I took my elk to have a shoulder mount done. Was a coworker of friend of a friend that does it on the side type of deal. Won't do that again. His full time job got busy, and his personal life took a dump on him. Then he dropped off the face of the planet for a year and a half, at least from my perspective.
Anyway, I have my skull cap/antlers and the hide back. The hide is fully tanned by a tannery he shipped it out to, it looks great as far as I'm concerned, but I don't have a taxidermist experience or eye. I can get some pictures put up later of the hide.
Trying to figure out how to get it finished.
Contacted my first choice, but they said they can't take any more work at the moment and are leary to take on other taxidermist 's unfinished work as it can potentially be more work than doing it from scratch. Which I understand.
So I got ahold of the guy that did my 2020 deer. He said "maybe...maybe not" will have to see it in person. Unfortunately it's quite a drive, so that'll have to wait. Anyone, specifically any taxis that can chime in with advice or anything?
Is Charlie's Taxidermy still a thing?
Found a pic on google of a mount he did that is EXACTLY what I want. Tried tracking him down, no luck yet.
Thanks ya'll
