Shipman's taxidermy. Great guy too

If you take a picture of the fish, measure length and girth, you can get on line and purchase a replica mount from an artist that specializes in that species of fish. You can get the mount back in a much shorter time, it lasts much longer than a skin mount, and a side benefit is being able to release a fish. Go look at someone's skin mount that is 20 years old before you have them do your work...

the only reason we have the fish is my son hooked him deep and it died or I would have released the fish....

My point was, a replica will last much longer. Preseved skin mounts WILL eventually crack and peel.

I understand and that's what I'm checking on now thanks churly....

Ron Guinn off of bonny oaks is the best around here especially with his paint job

Picked one up from Bud Hull today and it looks excellent. His attention to detail is amazing.

I've got 2 from bud hull they are both from like the 80s and have held up great just keep it dusted.

My father n law has a rainbow trout that's probably 10 years old from bud hull. Outside of being in an an un natural pose, it is cracking and peeling.
