How to Prepare
your Deer for Mounting
Shoulder Mounts
Do not cut throat. When field dressing the animal, cut up the belly and stop
at
the sternum (breastbone). If possible, hang by rear legs from a gambrel.
Cut off the front feet @ the knee joint. Cut up the rear edge of front legs (on
a deer; where the long brown hair joins the white hair) all the way to his
armpit,
then turn the blade 90 degrees and cut out toward the tail about 8 inches. Then,
simply circle around the deer's torso. Make no more cuts. Skin the deer as far
down his neck as you can, then cut the head from the carcass, being careful not
to cut the skin. et the head cool, then put in a plastic bag and ice or freeze
as soon as possible. For best results, bring your trophy as soon as possible to
prevent spoiling or freezer burn.
Life size
Do not gut small mammals. Do not try to skin; we prefer to make all
incisions. Ice carefully or freeze whole. If you cannot freeze,
bring in as soon as possible.
Birds and Fish
Do not gut. Wipe off blood, mud, wrap in paper towels, put
in plastic bag, and ice or freeze as soon as possible. Be sure to
tuck the bird's head under wing. Wrap your trophy fish in a
wet towel and ice heavily or put in plastic bag and freeze. Migratory birds require
pre-payment,
license number and signature of hunter. All protected birds require
permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service and/or your state's
game department.
