Euro Mounts done at Fort KDM Now.

[johnr]

I find bugs icky

 

[KDM]

Just a friendly reminder. We've done quite a few skulls now and those that dropped off heads seemed to be happy with the results. It's been fun dabbling in this hobby stuff. Some really attractive pieces have come out of just trying new things. Enjoy!!

Here are some pics of what's going on..........




Tried a couple antelope.....



The beetles doing what they do.....



My 2016 rifle buck on one of the backgrounds we are playing with....



Coyote.....


Dad made the plaque that the tail will go on when it's done drying. Should look great when the plaque is stained and the tail put on.




Some other options for horns....


Another one of my 2016 rifle buck sans scenery...

They all look great KDM. Thanks again for doing our deer heads and paddlefish bills I'll have to get some pics up one of these days. After I get the displays made up for everything.

 

[KDM]

Glad you liked'em Kick. Now bring me that mulie. The beetles are hungry and all I've seen the last couple days is the Junior Varsity of bucks in my area. I think I could have shot every 1.5 or 2.5 yo buck in a 3 mile radius in the last 2 days. Probably fall outta the tree if a First String Varsity Buck shows up. LOL!!

man I like that Euro on the mossy rock. Very nice.... Just talked to my wife. Let me know if you are around Sat morning. I'll be headed your way.

Does a guy need a taxidermy license and have to do all the paperwork just to do euros?

 

[BGH]

Sweet!
my brother in law has a huge beetle colony for taxidermy too. MAN THEY STINK!!!

I wouldn't say they stink but they do have a unique smell.

I would like to see a big pike head soon.

Before we started this thing I did a search of the ND Century Code and did not find a definition of taxidermy so I went with the commonly accepted definition which states taxidermy deals with stuffing the skins of animals, birds, or fish (Essentially all vertebrate critters) for preservation and display. Euros don't deal with skins so it appears that Euro mounts don't meet the requirements for taxidermy.

Why would one need a license - period???

 

[LBrandt]

State needs more money.;:;boohoo

In ND you need a license for everything from a bee keeper to a hay buyer to a wool dealer it is a little extreme. https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ccv/busines...ed-of-businesses-in-the-state-of-north-dakota

yeah it is extremely vague they don't define a damn thing, other than say if you do "taxidermy" for pay you need the license, just figured maybe you would know for sure or you had contacted NDGF. There deal on licensing doesn't really say if euros are excluded https://gf.nd.gov/gnf/licensing/docs/sfn-6097.pdf

 

[arrowdem]

sure wish i woulda brought some work your way after the rifle season, im going to have to give you a call sometime and explain our dreadful western deer hunting experience and catch up with ya!

 

[Wildyote]

You need a taxidermy license if you are performing services and possessing others horns for profit.

 

[luvcatchingbass]

Look great. I got my rifle buck to bring you still if you need to feed the beetles and I have a second deer skull if you are interested in me bringing it down. Will you be around Friday or Saturday morning?

KDM,
Did you make the mossy rock base the one is on?

 

[pluckem]

KDM,

They look great. You ever make it to Bismarck area for a pick up? I have no immediate plans that take me your direction.

 

[KDM]

GSM, we didn't make the display. We ordered a couple to play around with. They aren't cheap, but it does make a Euro mount a bit more female friendly if you know what I mean.

Pluckem, I don't get to Bismarck very often, but if you put the head in the freezer, it can wait until you get out this way or find someone that's passing through here.
