O'Rourkes taxidermy
I have used these guys awesome work.
Quality trophy taxidermists from Soutland, Canterbury - O'Rourke Brothers
There's a business in Clinton but I can't say as to his quality or prices

Pretty sure a bloke in Otatara does it. The name eludes me. Someone will chime in.
Dennis Collins, rumour has it he is super busy, only going to get busier with the roar, only other people are Steve abernethy in dunedin and Dave jocobs in Queenstown, really hoping to find someone in invers as its a pain in the a## going to Dunedin or qtown for a day trip from Stewart Island!Quote:

Just courier it.
Dennis is going to do it for me.
He suggested going down the dorsal stripe from between his antlers to ribs and leaving legs as socks, but all the videos online are showing from knees up past elbows and to ribs and leaving the neck skin entire.
Anyone got any advice on which way is better?
His way.

It's better not to cut it, the taxidermist can cut it later if they need to. They won't be happy about the cut on the base of the neck lol.
Cant believe it, was hoping for a yewrling.... And get a 10pointer! Pics tomorrow

If anyone wants the taxidermist details pm me!
More than happy to take extra pics, I'm really impressed!
Thats a nice rack. Don't cut the throat on a trophy....
+1 for O'Rourke Brothers, they are lifelong family friends and do good work.
Shit hot well done!
how about a pick more from the side?
Cut the throat on the 9pointer I got two days before this guy and learnt my lesson, was a good week :thumbsup:Quote:
