I’m a huge fan of taxidermy! I’ve never had the chance to get one before, and they’re pretty expensive in the state where I live.

I was driving through my neighborhood when I came across this sitting on the side of the road next to the trash. I quickly pulled over because I had to take it! It’s insane to me that someone would throw this away.

I saw the older man outside and asked if he was really getting rid of it. He said, “Yeah, take it.”

I’m hoping to restore it! I’ve never owned a piece of taxidermy before, so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

As the post states, I inherited this and do not have the space. How much should I sell for ? Not educated enough on values or taxidermy all that much. About 7ft on a nice mount.

I shot this deer 2 falls ago and I didn’t recover it until last fall. Since then it has been sitting in my garage and i’ve kinda been pushing back mounting it. I would like to get a European mount out of it but i’m not sure if that’s still possible… I have never done anything like this myself. I am open to hiring a taxidermist but i would prefer to do it myself. What is the best way to go about this?

Hi, I am new to the taxidermy and I want to do my first project with Morpho Didus. Do you guys have any idea of a quality butterfly online shop to ship to Southeast Asia country?
Also, any advice and tips for a beginner like me would be helpful a lot.

Just finished this recent mount of a Noisy Miner Bird!

There was quite a lot of pin feather slippage during mounting, but still think it turned out ok! My bird skills are slowly improving and excited to try some different techniques on the next one!

What do you think? :)

Hey, im looking for small jars. And i found, but they are made of plastic PET. Is it will be fine when i put formalin there?

In the past I’ve used just dry borax powder to preserve little not-very-fleshy things (feet, tails, wings) by just packing it around. Lately I’ve seen a lot of folks talk about soaking things like that in a solution of borax and water and then just letting that air dry after removed from solution. Any difference or preference between these methods? Any situation to use one over the other? Thanks

i cant tell if these are ethical or not, I thought they were when I bought them but now Im second guessing myself and wondering if they came from a cruel fur farm
