ridestrong 1 #5 February 20, 2011 Quote So say I find a dead squirrel that got trapped in a really twiggy bush, and I want to get said squirrel stuffed. Anyone have any idea what it costs to get a squirrel stuffed? 1. Place said squirrel in 5"x9" 'bake safe' pyrex pan. 2. Preset oven to low temp 100* degrees F. 3. Place in oven and let bake for 8 hours (times may vary based on squirrel size). For high altitude bake 9 hours. 4. Remove, and quickly shape to desired pose. 5. Sit and let cool for 2 hours. 6. Enjoy squirrel. -Josh*I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herky 0 #6 February 20, 2011 I'm having flashbacks to high school where for taxidermy class someone brought in a squirrel they hit with their truck. It was funny as hell watching him try to patch it together. To answer your question though the kits are relatively cheap if you do it yourself, usually 25-35 bucks for the mount. But if you take it to a taxidermist they could charge you like 60-80 bucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PiLFy 3 #9 February 20, 2011 You want to risk your health for something so readily available? Dunno what it's like in Sweden. Here in the States. Squirrels are all over the place. If you want one. Go out & shoot one. You'll know it died while healthy. Its pelt won't be torn up & spotty from the bushes. Do it yourself kits are cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PiLFy 3 #13 February 21, 2011 Quote I will shoot one for him, hmmm what to choose.Maybe a 155gain AMAX? That would be one way to solve his taxidermy problem. A little trivia for some, here: In days of yore. Before specialized calibers, big-bore muzzle loaders were all there was for mountain men. Large N soft, pure lead projectiles made for a very big wound canal. Guys still took small game like squirrels. A direct hit would destroy much of the meat. So, they utilized a technique known as "Barking." They wouldn't shoot the squirrel. They'd shoot the tree bark right beside one. The concussive force of the impact would kill, or at least knock out the squirrel. They didn't used to stuff the hides, though. Mountain men & settlers would often only save the tails to hang off the rearview mirrors of their covered wagons. It wasn't until they settled in California that they started stuffing the hides, too. Those early stuffed hides eventually evolved into today's fuzzy dice. Hydraulic suspensions developed independently. Honest... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
