Working on some Gators

Gator season is upon us. We go to fill our first two tags Saturday. This bang stick use either .410 shells or .45 Long Colt. I'm going to use .410 slugs.

Remember pop them just behind the head not on top of the head. The thick skull protects their very small brain and even .44 magnum won't penetrate reliably. It also makes my job harder when the skulls are all cracked up.

I'm very pleased that Legacy Skull Preservation Inc. is featured in a Blog by Ian Nance.  The Wild Life  is well written and relevant to local issues here in Florida. It is a very popular read with local sportsman. Check it out and be sure to leave a comment! http://thewildlife2.blogspot.com/

The new site is finished.
Check it out.

All credit goes to http://omtc.biz/ Al was great to work with and the result speaks to his talent!

An Axis or Chital (Axis axis). They are native to India and live a jumpy life being preyed  upon by Tigers. Ranches is Florida and Texas maintain herds of them. They are beautiful animals and some of the most flavorful venison you can eat.

The barking deer is complete. The Reeve's Muntjac is native to South East Asia but gets its name from John Russell Reeves who introduced this species to England in 1838.

Here is a Sika ( Cervus Nippon) I just finished. These cool deer are originally from Asia. Japan has a large population of these deer. In many ways the behave like American Elk. They even have ivories. These "teeth" are actually ivory are left over from their prehistoric evolution.

Big Fangs! What could it be?
This is a different species than I posted yesterday.
An evil looking little bugger!
Anyone have a guess?

Oh, the Cullens may have trouble with these guys. I placed them next to the camouflaged Gator skull so you could get an idea of their size. Can anyone tell me the name of the animal these skulls came from? They still need to be cleaned and I'm told these guys are tough to clean well. Oh well they are going to look awesome when they are finished. Don't tell my wife I put them on the kitchen counter!!!

The latest offering from Legacy Skull Preservation Inc.
We will now be offering skulls dipped in a variety of camouflage and novelty patterns. The process is called water transfer printing. It is a very durable finish.
This patten is based on swamp vegetation and so seems a perfect match.
Please let me know what you think?
Thanks again
