A little taxidermy 101 on nose pad details 🤓 🦌

The photos below show exactly what goes in to finishing a whitetail nose pad. Or at least what the nose pad looks like through each step.

When I tell clients that their critter needs 2 weeks to dry before finishing touches are applied, these are some of those finishing touches.

Photo 1: Shows a nose after the two week drying period. It looks flat/ volume-less and dry.

Photo 2: Every single nose nodule has been filled in with Mod Podge craft glue to add depth.

Photo 3: The nose pad and bottom lip have been painted with an air brush from a side angle to give the nose pad its main color, but leaving a slight fleshy look to the cracks and crevices between each nodule.

Photo 4 and 5: A thin layer of gloss finish has been added to the nose pad and bottom lip to give it a wet or moist appearance.

All done! 🤘🏼

What’s your method of keeping paint from getting on all the little hair spots on the nose pad ?

First thing I look at on any mount. 👍🏼

I sent this shoulder mount home a few months ago. My client mentioned he was going to build a base for it with his brother. This morning he sent me a few photos of the finished product. I must say it turned out pretty slick! A reminder that even if you get a shoulder mount, it doesn’t have to be displayed on the wall. Thank you for sharing, Jon Bovee! 🦌 ... See MoreSee Less

A common question I get in my shop is, “Do you get a lot of Ohio bucks being located in Pa?”.

The answer is, absolutely! I would say around 70% of the whitetails brought to my shop are from Pa and 30% from Ohio. But man, the caliber of buck I get from Ohio never ceases to amaze me.

The studs you see in this post are only the Ohio bucks I have photos of. If you’re a follower and you brought me a deer from Ohio this past season, feel free to post a pic in the comments! 🤘🏼 🦌

Don't laugh, almost 30 years and finally done. Usually a bow hunter.

Awesome definitely Need to find somewhere in ohio

Cole Erdel post yours

Wow! All of them are awesome!

3 of those bucks were hunted with and constantly monitored throughout the season by drone. Technology is a weird thing, some people like it, some dont. Some ride the fence line of legality. One thing that never changed is big bucks drive people wild. Theres still plenty of bucks killed the old fashioned way. Just remember, sometimes there's a story behind a picture lol. Theres big bucks in both ohio and PA. We are blessed to live where we do and chase the caliber deer we do

All studs !!

We own a thermal drone company (Pine Creek Drone Services ) and found 2 of the bucks posted here. Glad to see they’re going somewhere good to get mounted👍🏼

Wanna see what well managed property can produce? Well here ya go!

I’ve mounted over a dozen beautiful whitetails that came from two fairly large properties for the Bastow family and their friends.

They put in the work, pass on young bucks, and their efforts show!

Congratulations David Bastow, Mike Bowley Jr, John Dudenhoefer, and Steve Burkhart! 💪🏼 🦌

Nice job! 😍

Great bucks boys.

This would be a perfect topic to discuss further. First off congrats all those buck! They are definitely a product of quality management. My question is, how big of a tract of land are we talking here? I’ve always passed on deer but feel like the amount of acreage I typically hunt doesn’t allow for QDMA to happen with neighbors who don’t believe in the same idea. Cambridge Taxidermy if you don’t want a full blown conservation just delete this as I’m genuinely curious on how to get more to buy into QDMA.

they all look great

Back home with some numb swollen feet (and fancy shoes), ready to do some cape prep with my supervisor, Oskar 🦌 🐈‍⬛

Next 3 whitetail due up in the rotation: Jim Lilly, Joey Granat, and Chuck Land. I’m hoping to get 2 of those mounted this week, if not all 3. Then a few ducks next week and 1 or 2 more whitetail, then we’re done with 2024 gun season deer! 💪🏼

Here’s the second buck to that father-son double up I posted about a few days ago. Congratulations, Bob!

Yesterday I got a handsome mule deer mounted up, but today I’m headed to Erie with Ashley for a minor foot surgery that will have me off my feet today and hobbling around for the next week and some change.

If you plan on swinging by in the next 2-3 days, please give me a shout on here or on my cell before stopping by. I plan on continuing work, but it’ll be slow going for the next few days.
