    Taxidermists in Southland??

    Anyone know of a good taxidermist down south?

    Its only taken me 5 years to get a decent buck thats worth mounting, 9 points in total but only just out of velvet

    Pretty sure a bloke in Otatara does it. The name eludes me. Someone will chime in.

    Dennis is going to do it for me.

    He suggested going down the dorsal stripe from between his antlers to ribs and leaving legs as socks, but all the videos online are showing from knees up past elbows and to ribs and leaving the neck skin entire.

    Anyone got any advice on which way is better?

    It's better not to cut it, the taxidermist can cut it later if they need to. They won't be happy about the cut on the base of the neck lol.

    Wahoo that's an awesome one! Good bush coloring in the boney bits too!
