Thread: A suggestion for next year's theme

Tweet

Has anyone done a taxidermy shop where the animals stuff and mount the hunters? I can visualize such a thing down to the last detail. Alas, my props wouldn't support such a display and I don't have the funds or space to invest in new ones, but I'd absolutely love to see such a thing.

Anyone "game"? (pun fully intended)

I thought about this a couple of years ago....

You can buy taxidermied animals, trophies, and skulls on Ebay, often for less than 10 an animal.
You can also take the stuffing out of realistic looking stuffed animals to get cheap pelts
Or mount these stuffed animals to board to create displays.
You can buy fake fur at fabric shops.
And buy fake furs/ and real furs cheaply at thrift stores and on ebay.
Add organs in jars filled with Blood
Add containers of glass eyes, teeth, claws
Add tables covered with tools, wire, stuffing, foam (items from our workbenches)
Pictures of animals and animal models for reference
A freezer full of specimens to taxidermy later
Animal Molds or Mannequins
Books on Taxidermy
You can also have a couple of Rogue Taxidermy models: stuffed animals which do not have real, live counterparts
And a Human cadaverr in the proces of being taxidermied.

But we decided to save up for a dead petting zoo instead

Ha! I like the way you think. Dead petting zoo indeed!

What I had in mind was having the deer, bears, cougars, etc. taxidermying the humans.

It wouldn't actually have to be animals stuffing the humans. Could be some deranged owner/ manager of something like The Movieland Wax Museum. Mounts humans because they are more realistic than wax.

Blue Frog and aintnohusker... I like the way you think too... Brilliant.... absolutely brilliant

It is funny how we had 3 completely different (but all great) ideas about how to do a taxidermy theme.
