thanks, that picture kind of makes him look like he's contemplating life.

there was a big sewing job with him too. i hit him in the shoulder facing away and it split the skin all the way to the base of the head. ugly ugly... and that was with just a 223.

either way it came out nice for what i gave him.

A badger rug is another great idea, Here one I remembered another AO member getting done.

Sugar Creek Taxidermy is one of the AO sponsors. Maybe AO members get a discount.


A full body mount looks good when the badger has a gopher in his mouth. Even nicer would be a thirteen lined ground squirrel. They are in alberta too. Also known as the leopard ground squirrel.

Thumbs down

I wouldn't recommend northern taxi.

I gave him my badger, with instructions to make it open mouth, and that I wanted the skull back for me to boil.

Well got it back looking like a little puppy dog, (with crooked ass toes, an unmissable dorsal stictch, and on a terrible looking base, with glue spilled all over it) and to top it off, he "accidentally threw" the skull out.

Super nice guy, but I think he takes on way to much work, and is over booked.

Just pm me and I'll send you pics to see for yourself.

Just remember, you get what you pay for. Especially with taxidermy.

Mark
