Flesh eating beetles

[Paddledogger]

Looking to see if anyone can tell me of a taxidermist with the flesh easting beetles in western North Dakota. Hopefully I will be lucky enough to snag a paddlefish this year and have it cleaned up to mount.

Thanks for reading and providing assistance. FISH ON! #$%^&>

I have beetles and I would do it for you but I would like to have a non-trophy to practice on first. I would hate to ruin one for somebody without first doing one of my own to see how it goes.

Flesh my man, flesh!

Does one receive fantasy in return? I now have the diminishing return of a shi'itey tune in my head.

Can a guy use beetles on, say a bigger northern, or walleye? :;:huhThink this would look neat on the wall.#$%^&>

http://beetlestobonesskullcleaning.com/prices/ have had this guy do 8 deer for myself and family does awesome work as they have all turned out excellent.

Fantasy turns into nightmare once you smell the little flesh eating bastards

If you have access to a nice big ant pile stake it down with wire and throw it on top. That's what we do in the hills.

That is the reason I haven't gotten them.

They are smelly, I have mine in a cabinet outside. I've done a pile of coyote and beaver skulls. I've tried doing smaller walleyes but they didn't turn out, too many small bones that the beetles carry around. A larger northern or walleye would be better. I haven't gotten a large enough container to do deer heads yet, so if anybody in the bisman area has an old freezer they want to get rid of let me know. Kickemup if you or anybody else has a paddlefish bill they're not too fond of in case it doesn't turn out let me know.

Right at the end it shows a paddle fish. You can pause it and really look it over. Pretty neat.

Heres my Paddlefish Skull done by Dakota Skulls
was a smaller fish at only 35-40 pounds

Fort KDM will soon have them stinky meat eating wonder bugs as well. If they work out, I already have the freezer to start the fun.

I too would like to see a pike skull done. I talked to one guy that had the beetles years back and he wanted to do a full body pike skeleton mount. I cant image the time it would take to put all those bones back together but I bet it would look really cool
