Looking to have the hide tanned and a European mount done. Who/where does it, and how much do they charge?

I had the first one I killed tanned and made some belts and wallets and stuff from it. This bunch out of Atlanta did it. https://amtan.com/I also had a Euro mount done by a guy in MS who had dermestid beetles but I can't find his information now.

You need Johnny Walker taxidermy in Deland, FL. Iāve had 12 gators mounted and tanned by him and have never seen anything come close to comparing with his quality

Must be some LA or FL gators in the mix? Thatās amazing. I see why they call you Gator

Good Lordā¦.you keep all of them in your house? Iāve only got one thatās full body (European rug mount) Iāve sold half my tanned hides through the years. I was ate up with gator hunting when it started getting big and got friends with a nuisance trapper and got to help him a lot. Once swamp people got popular and everyone got gator farms there wasnāt money in the hides or meat anymore,

All mounts are cool but elk and gator are my favorites other than the ol whitetail

I ran one over today with my tractor. I got him with the left front and left rear tire and knew for sure I got him and Iāll be dammed if he didnāt do a few pushups and hauled ass. They are some tough jokers
