HOW TO SKIN YOUR TROPHIES FOR MOUNTING As soon as possible skin out the body and neck so the hide will cool. For head mounts, cut BEHIND the front legs and around the body. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU LEAVE AN EXCESS OF HIDE AT THE BRISKET. Skin the hide forward up the neck leaving the head & face intact. Be very careful not to cut through the hide. For full body mounts or rugs, leave the feet intact also. On small mammals leave the whole body intact if possible. Care for your hide as you do your meat. Keep it cool, dry, clean and in the shade. Never drag an animal's shoulder on the ground. It will rub the hair off and ruin your cape. If you can, deliver your trophy to your taxidermist while still cool, or get it into a cooler or freezer, DO NOT SALT THE HIDE. If you must fully skin out your trophy, for head mounts skin heads as shown in diagram. Make a cut up the back of the neck and "T" off the antlers. Cut skin carefully away around the base If the cape cannot be kept cool until delivery to your taxidermist, take the following steps: a. Turn the ears inside out leaving the ear cartilage attachedto the inner ear. b. Split the lips carefully. c. On hides for full mounts or rugs, ALL BONES IN THE FEET AND TOES MUST BE REMOVED ALL THE WAY TO THE CLAWS OR HOOVES. Leave the claws or hooves attached to the hide. d. Remove ALL flesh and fat from hide. e. ONLY AFTER COMPLETING STEPS (a) through (d), rub un-iodized salt (NEVER ROCK SALT - it will burn the hide) into the hide. Keeping hide in the shade at all times, roll up for a few hours. Unroll, shake off salt, resalt (you can't use too much salt), lay out flat, flesh side up. When semi-dry, shake off salt, let air dry a little more and fold to convenient size. Deliver to your taxidermist as soon as possible. BIRDS - The best way of preparing birds is simply to slip them into a nylon stocking and freeze them whole and not dressed out. Be sure to wipe off any blood. FISH - As soon as caught, sprinkle 20 Mule Team Borax on fish, wrap in dry cloth and freeze WHOLE as soon as possible. Dressed out fish can be mounted. Due to the extra work involved, there is an additional charge. Because fish of the same species will vary in color depending on location caught, a closeup color photograph of the head, mid-section and tail section taken immediately is helpful. REMEMBER - Do not use rock salt, iodized salt or pepper on raw skins. The better you care for your hide before getting it to your taxidermist, the higher the quality of the tanned hide and finished mount. TANNING NOTES - CONDITION OF ACCEPTANCE We have no control over any skin or trophy prior to our receiving it for tanning and/or mounting. It is important that our customers realize that the care that a trophy receives in the field direct- ly determines the quality of the finished mount. Many factors have a definite effect on the final results, such as primness, time of year, climactic conditions - hot or cold, if the skin is allowed to dry out or get wet, if it has throat or skin cuts, if a trophy has been salted and ears, nose and lips haven’t been properly turned and the care given the skin or trophy in the field when it was killed. Any number if these things can affect the overall quality of the finished mount. Occasionally a skin will not tan or goes to pieces in the tanning due to improper handling before shipment to us or to some defect in the skin which we cannot be responsible. If the hide is green and/or tacky in touch, this is an indicator that hair slip may occur during the tanning process. For these easons, we cannot assume any responsibility or offer any guarantee of the tanning of any skin. -ALL TANNING IS ACCEPTED AT OWNER'S RISK ONLY BUY PROPERLY CARED FOR CAPES NOVELTIES FOOT LAMPS 250.00 FOOT GUN RACK 225.00 BOOKENDS 225.00 TAIL FLYSWATTER 195.00 WARTHOG TUSK PLAQUE 195.00 HIPPO TEETH PLAQUE 295.00 ELEPHANT BAR STOOL 995.00 ELEPHANT EAR MOUNT 1,200.00 ELEPHANT UMBRELLA STAND OR TRASHCAN 895.00 ELEPHANT TUSKS ON A WOOD BASE 2,000.00 NORTH AMERICAN PRICE LIST 2016-2017 SHOULDER MOUNT LIFE SIZE RUGS ALLIGATOR ANTELOPE BEAR-BLACK(5ft min) BEAR-GRIZZLY BEAR-BROWN BEAR-POLAR BOAR, WILD BOBCAT BUFFALO CARIBOU COYOTE COW,STEER,BULL DEER ELK ELK (bugling) FOX LYNX MOUNTAIN GOAT MOUNTAIN LION MOOSE/SHIRAS MOOSE/ALASKAN MUSKOX PECCARY/JAVELINA SHEEP-BIG HORN WOLF WOLVERINE Extra Charges Wall Pedestal Habitat Pedestal w/ Habitat SMALL LIFE SIZE SQUIRREL, MINK, FISHER BADGER BEAVER RACCOON BIRDS DUCKS GEESE PHEASANT QUAIL, CHUKAR OR HUNS SAGE GROUSE SANDHILL CRANE SWAN TURKEY w/ Freeze-dried Head - 825.00 w/ Fan,Beard Kit - 150.00 w/ Fan, Beard, Wing Kit - 225.00 AFRICAN-ASIAN PRICE LIST 2016-2017 SHOULDER MOUNT LIFE SIZE RUGS AARDWOLF BABOON BAT-EARED FOX BLESBOK&BONTEBOK BONGO BUFFALO (AFRICAN) BUSHBUCK BUSH PIG CARACAL CAT CIVET CAT CROCODILE DIK-DIK DUIKER ELAND-COMMON ELAND-DERBY'S ELEPHANT- INCLUDES ARTIFICIAL TUSKS FOREST HOG GAZELLE GEMSBOK GENET CAT GERENUK GIRAFFE HARTEBEEST HIPPO-OPEN MOUTH HONEY BADGER HYENA IMPALA JACKAL KLIPSPRINGER KOB KUDU LECHWE LEOPARD LION MONKEY NYALA NYALA MOUNTAIN ORIBI OSTRICH PORCUPINE (AFRICAN) PUKU REEDBUCK REEDBUCK MOUNTAIN 1,295.00 645.00 795.00 995.00 1,095.00 1,095.00 895.00 495.00 1,595.00 1,095.00 495.00 1,595.00 645.00 1,195.00 1,395.00 495.00 495.00 795.00 895.00 1,295.00 1,595.00 1,295.00 695.00 795.00 695.00 495.00 500.00 p.l.f. 3,195.00 3,195.00 5,295.00 5,695.00 5,995.00 2,995.00 1,295.00 6,995.00 4,795.00 1,295.00 6,995.00 3,395.00 5,595.00 5,695.00 1,095.00 1,195.00 3,595.00 3,395.00 8,995.00 10,995.00 4,995.00 1,295.00 3,695.00 3,295.00 1,495.00 75.00 75.00 200.00 595.00 1,095.00 1,095.00 1,095.00 250.00 475.00 245.00 300.00 600.00 750.00 750.00 190.00 p.l.f. 210.00 p.l.f. 210.00 p.l.f. 220.00 p.l.f. 895.00 895.00 895.00 995.00 170.00 p.l.f. 1,295.00 995.00 795 595.00 795.00 795.00 of the antlers.
