got two mounts from last year, back...

[NWO]

Marten

Red Fox

Work done by:
Dan Cavicchiolo
BOREAL TALES TAXIDERMY



Super nice guy, decent prices and as you can see he does really great work...

His big game mounts are OUTSTANDING!

When I went to get these last night there were many deer, moose, and even full bear mount waiting to be picked up, there was some really impressive work on display.

They both look fantastic - love the unique choice of positioning of the fox. Was that your idea or was that the taxidermist's suggestion?

The only thing I wanted was mouth open and full body... the pose was Dans idea as I have limited floor space/room and he made it so they could go together or be apart on a wall.

Nice work. What is the cost to do a full mount fox?

 

[TonyMo]

VERY NICE!
Thanks for posting the photos.

the fox was around $610 but the rocks and stump added a bit of extra cost I believe it was about 100 or so more then he originally quoted due to the base but he phoned me prior to ordering it to confirm.

I'm very happy with it, so I don't much care about price... honestly.

here is another picture of the marten... Neat little critters! and the story behind taking it.

The story goes something like this it's Nov.2011 we got a decent snow I hear the dogs go crazy then the chickens... I look outside and see something bounding in the snow grab the Savage 22 hornet over 20G and get to the back door just as he slips through the 2x4 welded wire in the chicken pen I load an ounce of #4 into the gun turn on the vortec sparc put the red do on him and BOOM drop it like a sac of potatoes @ around 30 yards.
No chickens got hurt by me or the critter so all is good... the MNR charged me $3.15 fur fee royalty and all is good after I explain the reason I shot a furbearer. So as not to totally waste it, I got it mounted.

Nice mounts. That Martin looks like a nasty little critter.

Great looking mounts there and a cool story about the marten.

Very cool mounts and story. I keep looking for a red with a nice hide but everytime I see a nice one my 223s no where to be found!

Nice work. Those are cool mounts One of my uncles has a bobcat mounted that tried to get some of their chickens too.

I'd love a Bobcat mount... or a Lynx

I do have a Lynx that lives on my property(the area) but so far it has kept its distance from the birds, my dogs and me.

My neighbours see it on the road going in and out of my property.

I caught up with it on one of my trails once, around 30 yards in front of me, beautiful animal but if he gets a taste for chicken or dog he will meet the same fate as the Fox and Marten.
