Coyote Skin Rug - FINALLY back from Taxidermist!
« on: September 11, 2010, 11:27:35 AM »
Shot this Yote, my first with a bow, about 5 yards from my tree stand first week of bow season, 2009. One shot, dropped, twitched once.

Ol' lady has her first deer hide on the wall from first bow kill ever. Huge bodied buck. She wanted to make shooting this yote, very memorable for me. So she paid to have it made into a rug for our bedroom wall.

We went through heck with the taxidermy guy, giving us the run around, not returning phone calls or visits for 6 months. Ol' lady went and paid him a visit twice this week. Once to tell him he'd had it a year, and he's 7 months late from what he told us, and she'd paid and had enough. The second was to get it, weather he was done or not. And what luck, he was!

I'm very proud of it. Very memorable.

Looks like he took the easy way out and glued the felt together and glued the pelt too instead of sewing.Did a terrible job on the ears and eyes too.If  I were you I would find another taxidermist.

He lost my business anyway, she tried to support a local person in the community.
She sent her hide out, it looks awsome and soft as silk after 8 years.

Not happy with the job but glad i got it back.

Ron, that coyote will look great on the wall, it could use a few touch ups of course, but at least you have it back in one piece.
 Sound like the misses is the real keeper though.
