mmmmm k. from your unedited version I can already tell you're not one for taxidermy, Ill be frank and honest. 
their fur is their skin unless we are talking about reptiles, your comment is pretty hard to get at with lack of grammar.

Yes I hunt, I do not take just their fur, I use the animal to where I can use it, its life doesnt go in vain, while I still am able to collect its pelt.
No i will not eat a fox, or coyote, but i will feed other animals with its flesh and collect the bones.

Yes I check for roadkill; I dont see why something should go to waste, unless it is an animal that is against my states game laws like deer, birds and CITES animals, the animals I pick up are typically gray foxes, coons, coyotes that are open season year long.
roadkill animals is not the most humane way to go though, people who only want roadkill need to know that those animals suffer far worse than a quick humane dispatch.

Yes I use ranched animals off US farms. I have a list of breeders that I trust, and plan on helping out with actually a farm that i view the owners as friends. they are good honest people raising their livestock, ensuring they are treated humanely but realistically with welfare, and raising some monster animals that a fox is the size of a coyote that you just cant get that sort of top grade quality if it was from a poor farm that didnt care for their animals

Yes I buy from other trappers, hunters and other people working lifestocked animals, as long as i can see from the pelt which is easy to see if that animals had a hard life or a well fed one from its quality, and as long as they are not poaching an animal that within state or region of state is documented, I trust them.

So i hope thats been able to clear up abit on the deal of taxidermy, that most people who hunt animals dont let it go to waste, not typically even trophy hunters, the outfitters or taxidermist who gets the animal usually puts that animals meat to good use some way or another.

I don't mean to jump in on this, you talk about community though so I guess it all plays in that factor. Your complaining about someone posting your picture on another website without your permission. however you do that kind of stuff all the time. You post items you buy off of others before they arrive. Its called being a hypocrite.

Second of all, you want help from the community, you know "stick together" well guess what when aproving upon you look to the community for help, however in your case when I was trying to help you out, you turned around and bit that hand.  Something about you being against crits but your upset someone posted Something of yours that is now being criticized elsewhere but you wouldn't take the advice of we have it to you.

I mean if you want to make it somewhere further and faster. Empty your glass! 

Now I'm sure at this your calling us rude, but this is apart of the community that has been around for a long time. Your definitely not the first or the last one to be "singled out" if that's what you want to call it. 

When you like someone's work and they give advice or critiques on your work, you don't smack them away and tell them you want to learn on your own. Yet charge as much as they do on commissions, It's not very professional. A taxidermists always strives to make a animal life like. Nothing else should be more importent. We don't strive on good enough and recyled items to mount with. but I guess that's what makes us a little different. 

Also abit of advice you should take. DA is more like a high school Then a community. We used to be a community, but those days are long gone.

Taxidermy is the process of removing the skin of the animal, tanning it up( or dry preserving it, or freeze drying the animal whole), then placing the skin on a form, or base you have built to resemble the animal and shifting the skin into place to try to reach what that animal once looked like, or fantasy mount you are trying to achieve.

With working at a taxidermy shop, normally the hunters bring in the animal for us to mount, or find along the side of the road.
For myself, I buy from hunters, trappers, ranchers, or find myself for my own collection to have. Though I will soon start hunting myself come next fall.

the fur stays on the skin area, its the skin, membrane then the carcass that has it attached to the animal since their skin is alot more thicker than humans since they have much more hair follicles.

Hi, I do offer taxidermy commissions

I charge 700. for coyote lifesizes

ive found all the sitting positions that arn't howling, I would need to see what its measurements are before actually being able to choose of which ones, but there seems to be quite a size variety between them atleast.

I require atleast 25% up front to be able to buy the form

and a minimum of 50. each month( unless circumstances and you tell me ahead of time, then we can work something out)
are you wanting any custom eyes or normal or reflective eyes?

I would be shipping UPS
and probably would be 3-4 month turn around if not getting custom eyes

At which after finished would have a month to have it completely paid off.

my email is CreatureUndertaker@hotmail.com to be the quickest way to always get ahold of me.

thanks, Misty

I see, thank you very much for the estimate. Its no doubt that its worth every penny, that is just more then what I can afford presently. And space is very tight...I'm thinking of trying to get a shoulder mount of a black coyote done, but I would just really hate to have this beautiful boy cut for his cape. Perhaps I can find someone willing to do a trade for the LS skin in exchange for a cape, or mounted cape with some money along with the LS skin for it.

Would you happen to know of anyone who might be willing to do such a trade?
