Due to the rainy weather today, I decided to stay home from turkey hunting and due some Taxidermy work. I finally finished my Colorado buck and hung it in my living room. It makes all my other bucks look like dwarfs.

What a wall hanger! very nice.It's got to feel good walking in and seein that every day. Did herman taxi that?
Thanks for the compliments guys,
Hey Muley 24/7, I mounted the deer myself, I've been practicing Taxidermy for about 25 years. I was once a licensed Taxidermist a long time, but decided to get into a different career and now just do it for pleasure and to save money.
Herman is a good friend and I like stopping by his shop when I'm in the area. We became good friends, when I was a licensed bear guide a few years back. I was so busy guiding, I did not have the time to do my clients Taxidermy work too. So, I would take Herman all my clients kills. I'd like to one day open a Gun/Taxidermy shop when I retire. I don't think I'd ever seen the two business in one building or side by side before.
I'm now showing my niece the art of Taxidermy and she assisted with painting my deer's face. I believe my niece suffers from the hunting bug and is becoming just like me...poor girl, lol.

I was a professional at one time, but now its a hobby. I got my start as an apprentice in the San Bernardino County Museum. I became a bird specialist for them and later learned the rest on my own.
