I agree with KevinD. .22 mag is a good choice if legal. But just about any .25 caliber or under is ok. My biggest issue is the gun itself. I have a Tompson Contender that I think is the perfect gun to carry. You can put it in your pack so it is not in the way going to the tree. My 16" barrel is...

>Nice work!!! That first one is >particularly good IMO!!! How much >do you charge for a >mount like that? LS lions start at 3200. Add for open mouth and extra base. Turnaround time is 4-6 months. Rocky Mountain Wildlife Studios rmwildlifestudios.com

LAST EDITED ON Jul-28-16 AT 03:08PM (MST)[p]A couple more lions just finished up. Similar poses. The first one is probably the biggest lion I've ever mounted. Second one. Rocky Mountain Wildlife Studios rmwildlifestudios.com

Last I heard he was in prison. That was about two years ago, not sure if he is out yet.

I just bought a 48" rack and a green cape at our auction for $350. Rocky Mountain Wildlife Studios rmwildlifestudios.com

I would be very skeptical of a javelina mount for 400. If cost is the only deciding factor then of coarse that is a great deal. Remember, you have to look at that mount for years to come. Trying to save a few dollars on a mount usually ends up with something you'd be ashamed of showing anyone...

Degreasing can take months for a bear skull, not hours. Water/dawn needs to be a constant 120 degrees and it will need to be changed two times a week. Every skull is different so the time it takes to fully degrease can only be determined by the amount of grease that is left in the water when it...

The smell is coming from bacteria that is growing inside the horn core. Remove the horn sheaths. The skull portion should be degreased in a solution of dawn soap and water at 120 degrees for about two weeks. Changing the water several times. Before putting the skull in this degrease solution...

I have four beetle colonies going right now. Rocky Mountain Wildlife Studios rmwildlifestudios.com

EB, you can use a small amount of clear epoxy in the seam where the two pieces rest inside each other. You can keep it closed or prop it open while it dries. Just use a small amount. If you ever decide to change it later on, they can be popped apart without damaging it. Just use one small drop...

Here is a breakdown of the actual time it takes to mount something. Once the animal is dropped off, it's about a week to turn, flesh, salt and dry it. Another day to box it up and ship it to the tannery. Now this is where things can change. The actual tanning process doesnt take that long...

Nice video but would rather listen to the dogs then the music that didn't go with the video. Rocky Mountain Wildlife Studios rmwildlifestudios.com

You're starting off on the wrong foot. Bloodhound/hound crosses have never been very successful. They've been tried many times. Training a pup without an older dog can be done but it takes dedication by the Houndsman. Most pups fail because of the guy behind the dog, not his pedigree. Go to...

I'm not a fan of the cookie cutter, square or octagon bases everyone uses. This customer wanted something that looked "western".

A few recently completed.

Definately a female. Let her live so she can reproduce and have several Toms that will make a nice trophy for someone some day.

Freeze drying is not something you can do in your freezer. It requires a 'freeze drying' machine. Finding one large enough to handle a large rack can be a challenge. One that large will cost between 6-10K. If you want a professional looking job, take the skull/rack to a good taxidermist that has...

Oryxrus, you had several things working for you. First, you chose one of the best locations to hunt from in AK. . Second, you DID pick the best transporter working out of Kotz!

Don't ever boil a skull. Euros are easy to do using beetles on a velvet rack. No cutting, no having to reattach and you'll get the best product out there.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-29-14 AT 05:35AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Aug-29-14 AT 05:19?AM (MST) Your reasoning for using a transporter instead of an outfitter is 100% backwards. I've been guiding out of Kotz for 18 years. We arrive around Aug 10 each year. The reason we arrive so early is to get our...

Nice animals except the deer has one ear a half inch higher then the other.

Josh, are you getting your reflective eyes from Dennis? I found this company that has much better prices. I've asked them to make some lion eyes with larger pupils for the aggressive poses. Hopefully they will. http://rte.ucoz.com

6" is a lot. They should end up being around an inch from the wall. I've mounted several hundred elk in a similar position/form and they all end up about an inch or so from the wall, never 6". Have it fixed, you'll be happy with it.

That picture doesn't look like the tips are near the wall. How far from the wall are they? They should be less then an inch. I think he's BSing you for poor workmanship. There's all kinds of ways to make antlers fit without tilting them forward so it isn't even close to be natural. Should I...

I think you are right, they look too far forward. The tips should be almost touching the wall. It can be fixed but it will not be easy to do it right. The cape will have to be rehydrated so it is soft again. This will take a couple of days, then remove the stitching and any clay so you can get...

A few recently completed Brown Bears. All three were over 10', largest was 10'10" and 29 years old. Gives you an idea how big they are. These bears were taken on the Alaskan Peninsula. We land at HooDoo lake and hunt out of our small cabin on the lake. Field photos are of the same bears.

I built a new taxidermy shop last year and I used 3/4 ply on the walls then put Aspen T&G on top of that. I've got a huge bison and a couple of elk hanging on it right now along with a huge life-size lion. You won't have any problem with using 3/4". Be sure to post some pics when you get it done!

Put together some old fence posts, barbed wire, an old pitchfork and added some fall aspen leaves for color.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-31-14 AT 04:03AM (MST)[p]Had this buck come in to put on a plaque. What was odd is that it was a set of sheds that the buck shed back around the week of Christmas. Skull is a reproduction. He was an urban buck that was very comfortable around people.

I charge $185 linear foot. Open mouth $250. Turnaround 4-6 months.

This was an actual scenario that did happen. And here's what we did. For everyone that said shoot it, you just broke the law...and enough ethical issues that I hope this scenario will make you think about this. It has been documented that at any one time, 70% of female lions have dependent...
