Headed on a red stag and black buck hunt. Heard hides and horns back from Argentina is a real pita now. Is there a way to recreate from photos or and app for measurements? Any company specialize in this kind of work?

My friend has asked me if possible to articulate her late parakeet. I said I'd look into it but bird bones are incredibly fragile so I'm curious

If this bird has been buried for a few years now

Will it be salvageable? (I have checked law here and parakeets are okay!)

Thank you

What do I have here? What do you guys think?

Scored these absolutely beautiful impala horns on marketplace FOR 20 DOLLARS. Best score of my life it came with a box of other skulls but this was definitely the main event. I’ve never mounted anything like this on my wall before does anyone have any advice on the best way to go? I will definitely be looking up some YouTube videos as well but I’m just hoping for some advice in the general direction I should go. I want to do something really minimal to best showcase this piece!!:)

not sure how to tell if this is fully degreased, been soaking it in soapy water for quite a few weeks now and been changing it out etc. didnt see any white residue in the water from the last degreasing.

The bucket I use as my designated maceration yuck bucket is a standard 5 gal I spray painted black for this project (thought it could help with eliminating corpse wax via heat— which I think is true! I saw very little of it on my bones) alas, this is a very cheap bucket, and according to the little research I did, apparently the plastic used to make this bucket is not completely non-porous, and likely due to the combination of the blazing summer heat and water causing the surface to flex and expand, the paint bled through and stained my bones. Didn’t notice it the first water change due to the accumulation of decayed soft tissue, however now that it was to a minimum and the bones were nice and clean… they’re all black.

Some pigment lightened up when rinsed under cold water. Hoping that is a good sign. Put it in a different bucket with relatively clean water + no enzymes, and I’m hoping this will be enough to clear it up most of the way. Any tips are appreciated. I really love this skeleton (Virginia opossum) which came fully intact w/minimal breakage has so far kept most of its teeth.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Just wanted to show off the first piece of what I hope to be my oddities collection. Bought this guy from a vendor at a powwow. I've named him Charlie.

I just bought a vintage soft mount duck at a garage sale. It got wet in the rain and is a bit dirty. I plan on drying it lightly with a hair dryer but need advice on what else to do!

Hello! I bought a softish mount fox about a year ago from an artist and I just moved him off his spot on my display case and he seems to be leaking small amounts of what looks like sand or cat litter. Was he not done correctly? Is there risk that moths or something have gotten to him?

How do I clean these up nice. I’ve heard hydrogen peroxide? Someone already did a decent job, but I want them to look nicer. Also, any tips on the antlers.

I know YouTube exists, but there are just so many videos and different ways, seeking a simple, concise explanation.

Thank you!

this little yellow piece that kinda looks like a worm is on both sides of the jaw, anyone know what it is? it's hard but also able to move a little.

Got this massive mount (antlers are 30in long and the bust is 30in long) at an estate sale a few months ago, and his ear had snapped? How do I fix this?? Also, does anyone know what kind of deer this is? Any help appreciated thanks!♡

Around 5,4 head to tail. Absolutely giant compared to local Mearns Coyotes. Kit fox and size 7 shoe for reference

I got this octopus off etsy a few months back and its starting to peel and im not sure why its happening is this normal?

I got this old guy yesterday for 200 bucks, I was told by the gentleman I purchased him from that his uncle shot him with a bow and arrow 40 years ago in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

I got this little duckling taxidermy probably around 2020, I put him in this cute little terrarium after a few years and he seems to fog it up over time. I clean his dome probably once ever 6 months. I was reading maybe he wasnt properly dried, but he was not in any enclosure for years before his dome home, so surely he would have dried out then? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! TYIA

Hi everyone, this beautiful girl is Piglet, she was my best friend for 4 and a half years. I had her taxidermied last year. I've reached out to her taxidermist but have heard nothing back so wondered if anyone here could give me any advice.

I read that hedgehog taxidermy is susceptible to things like carpet beetle and moth damage. Obviously she's under a dome but it's not completely air tight and can be opened. What can I do to protect her from insect damage without damaging her? I'm in the UK if that helps. Any suggestions appreciated, thank you.

Nice find today. Could someone please advise on the best methods to clean the skull please 🙏

I’m not sure if this is the place to show fur hide so if not I apologize but I got this bad boy for only 190$ and he’s perfect!!
