I got a skull from my old stomping grounds in the other week. Have always wanted to see one in person with this.

First deer with canines!!
From what I’ve read, it’s 25/18,000 deer have this old genetic recessive trait. Very cool!!

Heads are coming in!
Some got the privilege to be in a salt water bath for a few days.
This part of the process pulls the blood from remaining meat and bone, preventing blood stains!

If you have a deer you want euro mounted, give me a call!

Got some very pretty turkeys finished up!
Each feather is cut and put into place, one by one.

The right frame is a 36x36 and the left is a 34x34.

I’ll be offering the 34x34 this fall- $450 per mount.
Other designs, the prices will vary but we can talk!

Good luck to the hunters this fall!
Ps- need all legal paperwork per harvest

Season is ramping up here in Missouri, as tomorrow is opening day!

Bollinger county- Midwest Furs will be offering beetle cleaned taxidermy skulls to the area!

I won’t hate on anyone’s method of cleaning, but if you want a quality skull done, give me a chance. Beetles and maceration take the longest but the quality is 2nd to none. My time may take a little more than normal, but the wait is worth it.

No bone will be drilled, broken, or removed! What the deer came with is what it will leave with. The turbinates are a major indicator of a method being used, and all heads will have them! To me, that will make or break a mount!!

To start the season, I won’t be taking in velvet as I don’t have experience with it (if someone wanted me to try, more than willing at no cost!)

Buck heads $100 natural (degreased but not whitened )
Buck head whitened ($125)
Doe-$75
Wild hog-$200
Critters (coyote and smaller) $75
Bollinger county

Just give me a call or a text to set up a drop off time.
50% is required as a down payment, rest is upon the finishing date. I will offer plaques too this season.

Thanks and best of luck hunters!

I’ve done a 72x26 version, just want some more practice under my belt before I offer to the public.

We are officially established in Missouri!!
Located in Glenallen,Mo moved from central Illinois, we will be offering turkey tail and wing mounts this spring. Also will be doing European mounts this fall specifically with beetles!

Turkey mounts will run $150 each having the tail, wing, and beard attached to a choice of 2 plaques.
I can do the option of having the skull cleaned, degreased, and whitened for $75 more and have 1 plaque offered for that.

Just get ahold of me to set up drop off times.
The harvest has to be legally done with all the proper tag and confirmation number.
Thanks!

As season came into effect today, I am ready to take in heads!!!

Beetle cleaned skulls produce the highest quality that a taxidermist can provide. Please do not bring your head to get boiled and damaged, they degrade over time as the bone flakes and grease pushes out of the skull.

My turn around time will not be the same as a boiler as the degreasing process takes the most time (1-7 months) depending on the head. But rest assured, it’ll be the cleanest head you will see.

Prices
1️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ deer with antlers
9️⃣0️⃣ no antler deer
5️⃣0️⃣ critter skulls (coyote and smaller)

I require a $50 deposit down and rest payed upon pickup.

Please follow all state regulated laws or I will not accept.

Located in Lacon,IL
