Here's a crocodile I just finished for my friend Gary Sitton(not the writer). He killed it in Zambia with Richard Bellcross. It was just over 14 ft. I thought all you African nuts (like me) would like to see it.     Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | ||

Nice. It would be interesting to hear what difficulties you had with such a project. Shipping the thing is going to be tough. _______________________________  | |||

Jerry, I love it! Is it imprudent to ask for a ballpark per foot price? If so, then no worries! I would love a full croc mount, but I have no idea as to the amount of work involved. Never use a cat's arse to hold a tea-towel. | |||

Jerry, I hope that baboon is properly puckered. I expect you pay such attention to detail?  ~Ann   | |||

Yukon Delta, There is a lot of labor involved in a project like this, the most difficult part is altering the form to fit the skin. Luckily I don't have to ship it, the hunter lives here in town. The base comes apart in two pieces so we will just take it down and carry it across town and assemble it in his house. Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

I'm sure it's not the easiest thing you have done.  Any idea how many hours it took including the baboon?_______________________________ | |||

A daunting challenge. Your work is always impressive, Jerry. The last buffalo you posted was special. | |||

Want to see the video of this croc being shot? Go here, bottom left: Sitton Croc "I envy not him that eats better meat than I do; nor him that is richer, or that wears better clothes than I do; I envy him, and him only, that kills bigger deer than I do." Izaak Walton (modified) | |||

I don't know how many hours it took, I didn't keep up with it. I just worked on it until it was done. Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

Jerry, I don't think Gary's room is big enough. Great mount! Larry Rose lipped maidens--light foot lads!!! | |||

Thanks Jerry. I assume that does not include tanning costs. You do excellent work sir. Keep posting interesting work as you have time. The video was interesting as the croc starts rolling and then does a backstroke of sorts for a ways. Not a typical shot reaction. _______________________________ | |||

Simply amazing!!!! If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem. | |||
