shedhunternick Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 What else do I need to mount my first deer besides this kit and a video or book? http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/product/102431/tony-rusiecki-whitetail-right-turn-kit Any Advice for a beginner? Shooting a wall hanger each year gets expensive lol. I have one at the taxidermist and was wanting to learn how to myself. I have a great background in fur/hide handling due to trapping and skinning.

pintail_drake2004 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Lots of reference material. Check out taxidermy.net-they have alot of tutorials for helping folks. mounting a critter isnt rocket science, but it does take some time and pay attention to detail. Just like trapping, you have to have fun doing it or it becomes work! When i was mounting critters, only work 1-2 hours on it so you dont get burnt out or lose interest.

RTF Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Stay away from the kits. Invest in the videos. Lots of videos on Youtube also that cover this subject. http://taxidermy.net is definitely the way to go if you want to learn something about taxidermy.
