Guest dbtaxidermy Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hello all I am new here. Looks to be a very good site. A little about myself-I am a full time Illinois taxidermist who loves to hunt and fish. I will be posting often on the forum. If you have any questions about taxidermy I would be more than happy to help you. Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoyt19 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Welcome to the forums. Great looking mounts on the web page. Question for you though, I live in extreme NW IL, how would I get a head and cape to you if I am lucky enough to get a mounter this season? I have yet to find a taxidermist in my area that will do top quality work, and am know looking elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dbtaxidermy Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 If you do get one I would be willing to me you somewhere, maybe half way. I have done this in the past for several customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi Jim. Welcome! Meeting half way! Now that's service! I reviewed your site and those are some nice looking mounts and your prices are incredible. I'm in the Alton IL area and have been trying to get my first black bear for some time. No luck in Idaho this past spring but maybe next year. I checked around (Idaho) and no one will touch a life size black bear for under $1000.00 and most are around $2000.00. You ever done a life size bear? I may be interested in figuring out how to get one to you if I fair better next year. >Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dbtaxidermy Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yes I do lifesize bears. I do two three to four a season. I need to update my site with some more pic. Thanks, JIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 You need to watch your prices. $275.00 for a deer is way too low. I cant for the life of me fiqure out on how you make a profit with that kind of pricing. And to top it off your willing to drive half way to pick up a deer head ??? I have read your posts over on Taxidermy.Net a few times, so I am familiar with you. I think I saw a post by you not long ago, looking for whoelsale work. How is that going for you ?

Guest dbtaxidermy Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hey RTF I have read some of your post on taxinet also. As far as my prices I am in the upper part for my area. There are six in my area and three are charging lower than I with one the same as me and one charging 325.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dbtaxidermy Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 DB whats your tanning method ? Do you pickle ? I usually use Lutan F tan, but recently have started using Krowtan. It seems to be work good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Good deal. I use Lutan F almost 99% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
