I got my 21 year old beard skull and claws back and waiting on the full mount super happy

2/20 Edited to

... Read moreRestoring and preserving a deer skull and claws that are over two decades old is a fascinating process that requires patience and care. From my personal experience, the anticipation of seeing the full mount completed is incredibly rewarding. Each step, from the initial cleaning to the polishing of the skull and claws, reveals the intricate details and history embedded in the trophy. I found that careful removal of any remaining tissue and gentle cleaning is essential to avoid damaging the delicate bones. Using specific preservation techniques, such as whitening the skull with hydrogen peroxide and applying protective coatings, helps maintain the natural look while preventing decay. Waiting for the full mount was filled with excitement because a well-mounted trophy doesn’t just display the animal—it tells a story and honors the hunting experience. The final display not only enhances my collection but also brings a sense of accomplishment and nostalgia. If you're considering restoring old taxidermy pieces, my advice is to take your time with the prep work and seek guidance from experienced taxidermists or reliable resources. The process is not only about the physical restoration but also about cherishing memories and celebrating a connection to nature that transcends time.

Learning with 2 year old
One thing about it…. I’m always going to make time to learn with my child. ❤️ My daughter is almost 2½ years old, and she already knows so much! The proof is in the pudding: spend time with your children. Every child learns at their own pace, but CONSISTENCY is what truly helps them thrive.
