I helped out part time at a taxidermist in Anchorage when I first came up from SE. They needed help in their fleshing room, and were having a tough time finding folks without a functional nose. I was working nights running a D-10 on base, so I had free time all day and my nose doesn't work worth a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman). The place is called Kings, they do good work

If I remember right, that crazy wolverine was caught in Montana. And I've seen others from there that were equally as stunning with the white fur and wild throat patch. Of course, Montana is now closed to wolverine take.
As martentrapper mentions, find a good taxi. One that has done gulo before. They are very challenging to get right. The eyes and ears are so important, as to how they are positioned, and the eye lids are critical.
Very few forms, and sizes, but many different sizes of wolverine.


Just doing what I want now.

In Alaska could I tag it whole and frozen if I put a popsicle stick in thru mouth and eye hole?See something about Alaska not tagging frozen skins.

The bio can just make an incision in the back leg and put the seal there. Might have to thaw it a little first
