In Search of Furbearers and Birds for Taxidermy and Articulation

FoxHill · Aug 1, 2019

Hi -

I'm a hobby taxidermist who wishes to work upon my craft. My interests lie in taxidermy and skeleton articulation. I am hoping there will be some shooters interested in offering up deceased animals that they otherwise would leave to rot - coyote, fox, opossum, weasel, etc.

Once my skills increase to a good amount I would be happy to offer up taxidermy, skeleton articulation, and tanning. Currently, however, I am primarily searching for animals to work upon.

Feel free to PM if interested. I would be happy to travel a bit to pick up the bodies if need be. I'm located a bit outside of Baltimore, MD.

Wish I would have seen this couple days ago. Just buried a possum, and groundhog. Both had a quarter inch hole in skull though.

Intersted in stuff like that? Live in Glen Burnie, work in Halthrope.

Ha - those are my two most hoped for animals there!

I will keep you in mind and with my .22 at the ready.

I have a gray fox running around my campsite out by Rocky Gap. If it threatens my dogs or grand kids it will be available

Thank you very much, though I hope it just leaves you guys alone.

Thank you again. I'll post pictures of my progress

Still very much looking if anyone has anything.

I did home taxidermy of my own for a few years! Its actually very rewarding but time consuming! As silly as this may sound, and this is only my opinion larger things like deer shoulder mounts are much easier to learn on than full mounts like fox, racoon etc. I did start with squirrels but they are so small to properly tan lol.

Good luck to you!!!

I've done a few rabbit shoulder mounts - well, jackalopes because who can resist. Hoping to find some opossums and the like to work on as well. I'm working on a beaver skeleton articulation now and have some groundhogs I'm going to be tanning soon. Still a bit sketchy on some of those tanning instructions, though!

Anyone have anything they're willing to part with?

The local fox have poor coats. Do you need any opossum fur?

If the fur is no good I can still work with the bones. Always open to opossum

I have a dead possum in my driveway and I thought of you when i saw it this morning. Sorry, I wasn't sticking that nasty thing in my freezer

I have offered you animals several times, but I never hear back from you. I have tanned mountable red foxes, and BUNCHES of stuff wet tanned or raw frozen. I can get whole red foxes soon, but have VERY limited freezer space, so they would need to come out of the freezers asap. You come here in person and buy some stuff, and I will likey find things in the freezers I just need rid of and give you, or sell cheaper than usual. I'm a dead animal hoarder basically. If you can't make it here, I can sell you things and ship them. I take paypal.
