Hi there A friend of mine has a couple of wolverines hitting his marten trapline. I hope to get a nice hide from him this winter, and get a full mount done eventually. Does it matter if the hide is "cased", or should it be done like a bear hide for the eventual full mount? | ||

Tanneries charge more for case skinned specimens. The skin would need to be cut to go on a form anyways, depending on the pose you choose. If you have a pose in mind, it may affect how you want to skin it, dorsal or ventral incision. If you have a taxidermist you are going to use, you may seek his or her advice on how they would like you to skin it . Best place for the skin, after tanning, is in a freezer, until you are ready to have it mounted. Kind Regards, Mary Taxidermist/Rugmaker | |||

I hope you get one. They are awesome animals. My taxidermist, Bob Wilkins up in Cameron, Texas, lived in Alaska for a while. He has one done in a full-body mount over the door to his office/showroom.

I prefer case skinned or dorsal skinned on all lifesized mounts. Wolverines mount up very well using case skinned hides. I just finished one that was case skinned using McKenzies cast lip system form. I cut the front legs off the form in a wedge shape and inserted them in the skin prior to mounting. Then I slid the rest of the form inside the skin and the legs locked into place. Sew up the ankle/anus/ankle incision, tail and your done. Either way, ask YOUR taxidermist how they prefer it. I hate sewing, so the less I have to do the better!! Hugh Pro Staff for: In Natures Image Taxidermy | |||

Hello again Spoke with another trapper who caught two recently, but not the combination of colouration and size that I'm looking for. Could anyone who has a full mount wolverine, post pics and/or links to give me some ideas? Thanks P.S. It's -44 C here today, I think my tires are now square until it warms up. | |||
