Thread: To celebrate 1000 posts - a little whine

I think I posted up pics of my archery buck a while back when he came back from the taxis. Aside from the horrible experience of it all with the taxidermist I went with I noticed straight away a quarter inch gap in the seam of the back of the neck. I told the taxi only to have him say "it's normal". Be fucked it's normal. I've since spoken to a very good taxi who said there is no way he'd let this out of his shop. what are your opinions?


The stitching coming apart. It's much worse than the pic shows



The mount itself is ok, but I prefer the guy that did my white one.

Also, would anyone else be interested in a taxidermy section under the hunting part of the forum? I've thought about it as a bit just for people to show their mounts whether they're deer, goats, birds, fish etc. It wouldn't necessarily be the most used but I'd always check it

Happy 1000 posts to me, drinks allround

Bummer about the coat. Both those mounts look beautiful. I'd be keen on a taxi section, I don't have any photos I could put up but I do like looking at a good taxidermy job.

I'll drink to your 1000 Jack. Cheers

The mount looks mint, but looks like hes cocked up the back!! Take it back and get him to fix it.

Keep taking it back till it is correct. There should be no gap!
Happy 1000

Think there is a taxidermy thread on here

That looks worse than some red heads I have seen that are over 50 years old and spent the last 10years on a deck in the sun and rain

I would be giving him the opportunity to fix it for free and if he doesn't or can't, get someone who can to fix it and let the world know who fucked it up and who fixed it.

Ps shoulda let the white one breed.

Here it is BH http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...axidermy-1862/

Yeah thats a gread head shame about the job on it.

Thanks for that never seen it before! ha

I'm torn I really dislike the guy so dont want to have to speak with him but I'm just not happy with how it is.

just something i have always wondered, what is the approx cost to have that done and also what cost is it to have a pheasant done?

This is O'roukes old price list

It varies a lot depending on what you want and the quality you want. It's not always the case but generally like most things you get what you pay for.
