Hello guys,
I am not a new comer to the taxidermy industry. I am doing taxidermy since 1989. What I could learn from reading achieves is that dorsal incision starts with Y or T incision from antlers and ends near tail.
As I am not an Englishman (an Asian living in Pakistan), I am not familiar with ur terminology. Want to know all kind of incisions with a little detail of the incision. I know u all are tired of answering the same question but this will be a real help for me and my knowledge.
As far as crappy questions are concerned, I believe they are just trying to make this great website more congested and search becomes more and more difficult.
Questions should be well explained and people with less knowledge should not answers but they should wait to read the answers of the seniors so that they can also learn
Thanks

even though I am not a senior and by no means an expert, I have read enough to know the terminology.
Dorsal incision - A cut up the back of the animal. Can be centered or off-center of the spine. Can also be short or long, starting at the base of the tail extending to the antlers ending in a Y or T incision. With a shorter incision, the form may have to be disassembled to fit inside the skin.
Ventral Incision - An incision running along the belly of the animal. also may extend up the inside of the legs. The cut can also be any length, just long enough to remove the carcass from the skin. also known as- Open skinned, belly cut
Case Skinned - A common incision used by trappers. The incision starts on the inside of the rear legs and extends across the anus to the inside of the other rear leg. also known as- Tube skinned
Seamless Cape - a cape in which no incision is made.
Hope this helps... Peace~Sam
Who are you calling a senior?!?
Thanks alot Sam. You explained it very well to me.
For trapper, Seniors are persons like George and others who have spent several decades in this field.
I kinda understood that, Now where did I put my metamucel? Memory must be failing..again. Oh look! Barnaby Jones is on, sorry gotta go!
