The only mounted stuffed head I’d consider hanging on my wall

Peter Gronquist's Taxidermy Gun Animals

There's way more stuff here!

I remember that it was surprisingly affordable for some of his pieces considering how luxe they looked, I think it was like 2-3k for one mounted head.  Still out of my price range for now though...

Two or three weeks ago I went to my first taxidermy lessons and sucessfully mounted this fella! Who I named Renley the Raccoon.

I said I was going to mount a beaver but at the time the little guys were not ready to be mounted, so I brought a raccoon with me that I found a few months ago while roadkill scavenging. It was so much fun and I learned tons, a perfect experience with more to come. We mounted a troublesome bobcat while Renley was tanning and cleaned skulls. Took some interesting calls about bobcats, pets, and skeletons. Some folk stopped by to get turkeys mounted in which I got to watch my instructor work. 

I still have another week payed for that I will go back during summer break to complete. But between now and then I have a grey fox that I skinned there that I am to finish and mount as a pedestal for homework. When I go back we'll both mount the beavers and finish Renley and the Fox.
