The city, the city is all mine!  All mine!!!!

I'm serious.  I live in St. Paul and any time there is a three day weekend there is this mass exodus of everyone to their 'cabins up North' and I'm like the last one left behind (I don't have a cabin).  

It's like a zombie Apocalypse without the zombies...

I would have sent this as a note, but there's no send button oddly XD anyway.

Hey, I was directed to you by a friend. <:

I recently bought a red fox pelt for soft mounting, but when I dehydrated his ears his fur began to slip badly, and I've heard you've delt with replacement ears? Could you possibly help me out on if there's a certain size or how to even replace them? o: thanks!

Ah yes, slipped ears...they suck. Keep the original skin where the fur slipped off, remove the ear cartilage, and then place the wet fox in the freezer while you wait for the supplies you need to get in. Head to ebay and buy a red fox face that has ears (make sure it has the whole ear not just the backs, you'll have to hunt a bit), rehydrate and if there is cartilage remove that too. Mount your fox with the slipped ears, but cut out the ear channel area if your replacement ears have that area, if they don't then leave the original intact. Take hide paste and cover the outside of the slipped ears, slid replacement ears over the slipped ones, using small stitches stitch the base of the new ears to the skin at the base of the old ears using a hooked needle and whip stitch. Card the ears as normal, and let dry.

Let me know if you have any questions along the way. ear replacment is a pain in the butt!!

Oh the black is no good. I'm surprised the whole thing didn't come apart!

I buy my stuff directly from trappers and have the animals sent to a tanner. I connect with the trappers on taxidermy.net (taxidermy dot net) forum. If you find an untanned animal on there you want I'll give you my tanners info. Although the fur season is basically over, but you can still get some stuff from people's freezers.
