I already sent you an invitation, but NLynx has informed me that you have to be logged into DA via your computer in order to see/respond to it. I didn't realize that phones also don't show a 'join group' option. Can you log into a computer and say 'Yes' to the invitation I sent you?
Alright done!
Thank you very much c:

Welcomes!
Hi everyone!
I am looking for a little taxidermy help here!
We own a really pretty set of elk/moose antlers,
both comming form the same specimen.
We aquired it from a legal hunter, who had some letovers from last year's hunt.
But the anlters were sadly kept outside in his garden.
Now the smell of trees on them isn't that bad,
but we'd really like to clean them a bit more and prep them up so we can use them indoors.
Anyone know how we're able to do that and what we'd need?
we allready cleaned them majorily with foaming pastilles
(which are usually for fake teeth haha)
and that helped greatly, we just need to prepare it more!
Just comment/note if you know what we shoul do! c: thanks a bunch!

Me again! This question was submitted, and answered, on taxidermy.net www.taxidermy.net/forums/Gameh… Hope this helps!
Hey again :3
I was wondering if anyone had any information and advice on fur slipping?
I just bought my first red fox stole, and was so excited to have him arrive today ^u^ I took him out of his box to inspect him, and immediately noticed a lot of fur falling out onto my bed. Taking a good look at him I saw that a lot of his guard hairs had fallen out, and a large portion of him was covered in just soft under coat.
I immediately got out my soft bristle brush and gently combed over his fur to check the condition of his coat...only to find a lot of clumps and at least two handfuls of fur that pulled out with the brush OnO I think I got the worst of it, but I'm afraid that if I ever brush him again, he'll loose even more fur XC
So I was wondering...does anyone know why this would happen? Is it something to do with how he was skinned or tanned? Or would it have been caused by the conditions the previous owner kept him in?
I'm really bummed, since he has such a gorgeous light colour and the most adorable little face. I really wanted to give him a loving home and take care of him for years to come...but he just seems so delicate and I don't know what I need to do to take care of his coat.
Any answers or advice would be much appreciated <3
