Ep. 21: Taxidermy Competitions, Competing Mindset, & the Value of Friendships, w/ Wes Mote & Alumni
Our first group podcast!
We had the privilege to be surrounded by many amazing taxidermists at Wes Mote's Alumni Group class in Texas. Wes Mote is World Champion Taxidermist in Whitetail. He is also a great teacher and puts on group classes a few times a year. Wes put on this class for his past students, to teach some of new and exclusive molding and casting techniques.
We wanted to be able to share a little bit of the experience and also get into the minds of some of these great taxidermists. Not only do we talk competitions, and the competing mindset, we talk about tips, tricks, answer some questions from Taxidermy Q&A, and much more!
It's an episode you won't want to skip!
Thank you so much for watching!! -Heather and Ashley
(PS. being our first group podcast, we had to overcome some challenges with AV. Despite some of the sound inconsistencies, please enjoy the whole episode, I promise you don't want to skip this one!)

มุมมอง 2155 หลายเดือนก่อน
Taxidermists are typically business owners as well, or they work for a larger taxidermy business. Either way, we are no strangers to the wild things that can happen during customer interactions. Taxidermy-customer interactions can get a little more interesting than what might happen in a more "normal" job.

    What about distemper ? I dont have a full coon, nor am i skinning one for taxidermy, however i found a intact paw im thinking of either drying out with borax/salt solution or keeping in a wet specimen jar.. im not sure what to do yet, im new to the hobby, been interested a long time in bones, taxidermy, oddities tho! Im just worried about rabies/distemper and what not with the racoon. I also found a racoon spine (its just bone) (the paw is intact, has skin, fur, paw pads, nails etc) fully intact !
