Another look at this big stag & gorgeous mount!
Talk about a big flashy white throat patch on this guy.
Levi at Top Notch Taxidermy Studios did another incredible job. Certainly a fitting mount for such a great stag!

Holy smokes!
Well… that’s what a 39 inch beam stag looks like on the wall! 😳 Some ceiling high required!

Sorry for the delay in sharing this & I’ll post a pic of a different angle next. Enjoy 🙏

Who remembers this big old stag?!
He’s prominently featured in one of our recent videos. And at right around 39 inches, he’s got one of the longest beams of any stag I’ve ever personally guided! 🤩 I’m happy it was my buddy Phil behind the tigger. 👊🏼

Well… exciting news!
He’s back from the taxidermist & on the wall. So be sure to check back for photos tomorrow!

Double Drop-tine 2.0!
Now that’s what I’m taking about… finally! 😍

This new mount isn’t even done drying, nor is it a fancy, done-up gallery type photo, but already it looks orders of magnitude better than the original.

Not only does it actually look like a Rusa stag, but they also did an overall excellent job with the fine details, finally giving this unique stag the justice he’s always deserved.

I wasn’t going single out & bash the original taxidermist, but I will sing the new taxidermists praises…

Top Notch Taxidermy, located in Southern Alberta, knocked this one outta the park, and are Rusa Island Outfitters official & recommended Rusa taxidermist for our Canadian clients.

They have mounted about 6 stags for our clients so far, and each one has turned out incredible. Zero regrets or concerns. Thanks again!!!

Continuing from yesterdays post…

So I knew I needed to honour this double drop-tine stag with a nice mount, and chose a very reputable, expensive, high-end taxidermist, with a lengthy turn around time (not wanting to rush a good thing).

Nearly 2 years later, I got a call that my stag was ready. It wasn’t love at first sight, but I figured I was being critical, and would probably grow to like it.

Fast forward a few more years, and I still couldn’t look at this mount without cringing slightly. This was just unbecoming of this taxidermists work. I felt convinced they were so backlogged that they needed to outsource some work locally to not fall further behind.

When I mentioned I wasn’t very happy with the mount & asked them about this, they claimed the work was not outsourced & they felt it is a high quality product. Oh well.

Stay tuned for the conclusion tomorrow…
But I’m also curious to hear anyone else’s thoughts.

Would you be happy with this mount, or would you feel the same way I did?

Stay tuned!
Some exciting news about this awesome double-drop tine Rusa stag I was lucky to connect with, back from my first visit to New Caledonia when I originally came as a client…

And that makes 2!
Here’s Marks second stag, done & on the wall.
Looks great! 😍🏆🦌
…This stag also kinda fell into our laps while heading back to the lodge for lunch… So definitely some special memories right there!

We always love seeing our clients trophies make it home & onto the wall. This big stag our friend hunter Mark took last year is no exception. Congrats & he looks great!

One more time!
Another taxidermy update from our repeat client Cory. This one is a stag wed nick-named “Tron”.
He’s tall, tight, heavy, with long tines & lots of beadwork…🫶🏼
Once again, Cory also did the taxidermy work himself. Great job & congrats again! 🦌🇳🇨👊🏼

A Kingly stag tending his harem in one of our mountain units… He evaded us more than once.

He’s a tall, heavy, symmetrical stag with long tines that we hope to catch-up with this year with one of our 2024 season hunters. 🤞🤞

Key points to be aware of when considering a hunting trip to paradise…! 🏝️🦌🌺🧉🫶🏼

Well the booth is busy, and what can I say….

Not only are big Rusa stags handsome and desirable, but New Caledonia as a destination more or less sells itself.

Visit us at booth # 744, take a load off & let’s talk.

15/02/2024

Just got the booth all set up & meeting lots of great exhibitors in the process!

Come by and visit us at booth #744. The Western Hunting Expo in SLC is always a great show!
