Mike Nizich in Juneau no longer does taxidermy. Also for a rug mount any tips on proper skinning techniques? Should I get lucky with a set, I want to be prepared on what to do for a rug mount. I have only ever sold fur or had them tanned, but my son is trapping with me and I think it would be great to get a rug made for him. Sobie2 Last edited by Sobie2; 02/20/18 01:54 PM.

He's done a full mount wolverine(2+ years turnaround time), full mount lynx(2 years), Dall Sheep shoulder mount(1+ year) and my wife's brown bear rug(11 months). Does excellent mammal work, he's just not fast. -BB

Many years ago, he did fine furbearer mounts and was my number one buyer on wolves and wolverine for several years. I've not stayed in touch with Dan, but you may want to check out his outfit. Jack
