Got word from the taxidermist that my fox is finished , and my coyote fur blanket also arrived from Greece. Things I had been looking forward to, but are hard to enjoy what with our recent loss of our Jezebelle.
But a nice distraction nonetheless! Thought you guys would like to see.

Natures Pathway in Monessen PA. Best in the region.
Supposed to pick him up Tuesday! I couldn’t be happier with the blanket. It is SO heavy and warm.

Both look great do they do full body coon mounts? Everyone local Is covered up with their deer customers. And probably don't do much else and my not be very good anyway. I would like to get that dark coon of my son's sent off before I forgot about it and remember it in 3 years when I find it in the freezer.

I looked them up looks like they do about everything and are good on all of it. Didn't have and coon pictures. but I'm sure it will be no problem for them.

Lol yeah right you’re joking! I don’t even have enough coons in my career to make one a quarter this size! The furrier is in Greece but these are North American coyotes from this past December.
Price was around 2500 including taxes. Free DHL express shipping. I ordered it Saturday and it came today. I would def use them again. It’s magnificent

I’d imagine they would do whatever you want. They had two mountain lions there and a big ol crocodile but also many many deer heads (boring!!!!)
I think they liked the diversion of a fox!

I looked them up. They are very good. Lots of picts of everything and it's all very well done. Naturally it is Friday night and I will have to wait tell Monday to call them.

Very nice, that blanket should keep you warm and cozy.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Great way to do your fox Ashley. I'm guessing that penguins blanket in the picture won't be getting used as much anymore grin coyote blanket looks beautiful with a pretty girl curled up in it!

What kind of backing is used for the blanket?

Yeah heck with that Pens blanket. Like trying to curl up in a napkin

Beautiful !! The blanket is stunning. I’ve looked at having one made. How big is it if you don’t mind me asking?

There’s a guy in Ontario that makes beauties for about $2100 Canadian dollars so only about 1500 US but they are only 36 X 58”.

That red fox is amazing!


One day you'll find someone who is obsessed with you. It's probably going to be a dog. But, it is what it is.

When I was doing taxidermy full-time that was exactly the case. After the 70th deer of the season they all start to look the same. LOL Folks would often ask what I thought of the rack on so and so's deer, I would be like couldn't tell you what it even looked like. It was just a pay check doing them. The bobcats and other furbearers were a lot of fun.

The blanket looks very nice.
