Going for the gustoe

Submitted by Mike on 9/8/00. ( ) 152.50.54.9

I have been learning taxidermy for the last 4 years I did 1 deer in that time and tryied to do more but could not build my confidence up until 10 months ago.And now i have done 3 Whitetails for my friends and one 212 B/C repo for me which I just sold for $900.IM not trying to brag because im not a pro by any means but im thinking of advertising around the house for more work but the problem i have is deer is the only thing i can mount right now.
So if i get something else in should i turn it away or what should i do? Thanks

something else

smaller animals i would turn down there arough place to start but if you have confidence go for it my suggestion is get a bunch of vidieos of animals in your area and study them over and over [a supply company] taxidermy supply has good prices on his vidieos you will make it i did for 29 years if you did a repro and got 900 dollers it must be good me myself find wild boar heads easier than deer heads the harder the better i like it or you might try to get some other animals for yourself and do them for you venture out if you need skins let me know i know a place that they are tannend or salted good luck robin

You might have caught on by now (some folks havent yet) that we dont mention one "supplier" in particular for his unethical business practices. So much so that if you try to type in his name, the forum wont even print it (thus the "a supply company" editing). Most anyone with ethics in this business who knows better doesnt support that company. To do so sort of undermines all the other companies who ARE on the up and up. Try buying your videos from WASCO, the supplier who gives you this site FREE! Makes better sense, doesnt it? McKenzie Supply would be an alternative, too. Again, WASCO is the host of all this, why not consider them first.


I agree with Bill 100%...

That's always worked for me. The OTHER supply company I mean.


Around the house!?

If I were you I would advertise somewhere other than around the house unless your family memvers are BIG hunters!

I'm rather new to this site, so I don't know who(a supply company)is,but i think i can guess. I'll write the company name at the end in () lets see if it prints. the company name is([a supply company]) If I'm wrong, sorry if I affended anybody.


I was right
