Dear Hunt of a Lifetime
Friend,
My name is Randy Mitchell and I am the Hunt of a Lifetime National
Taxidermy Coordinator. HOAL has numerous qualified Taxidermists from
most every state who have donated their time and expertise to mount your
trophy. I would like to take this opportunity to explain to you how
HOAL's taxidermy program works.
Approximately 2 weeks prior to leaving for your trip, you need to
contact me either by phone at 989-828-6006 or by email at hidetanner@msn.com
. I can then make the appropriate arrangements with the Tannery and
Taxidermist doing your mount.
The child who is going on an HOAL adventure is eligible to have
their own trophy mounted. HOAL does not provide Taxidermy services to
any one accompanying the child. Due to the variety and size of the
species of animals being hunted, or fish being caught, and to make sure
we have enough resources to cover every child, HOAL has set guide lines
for Taxidermy work. They are as follows:
All NON-Horned Big and Medium Mammals (Bear, Coyote, Cougar, Lion,
etc.) - choice of 1 rug with open or closed mouth w/ 2 colors of felt
OR1 shoulder mount with open or closed mouth.
All Antlered Game and / or Horned Mammals from Foreign or Domestic
origin (Deer, Caribou, Antelope, Goat, etc.) - Up to 2 trophies can have
shoulder mounts with closed mouth.
Saltwater Fish - 1 Replica of your trophy fish.
Freshwater Fish - Up to 2 Replicas of your trophy fish.
Birds - 1 Mounted trophy.
HOAL will arrange the Taxidermy for the HOAL Child on up to 2
mounts total. Any other additional trophies will be the responsibility
of the child's parent or guardian. If you have a preferred Taxidermist
who would like to do your mounts, please have them contact me before
your trip.
All Taxidermy work is to be done in the U.S. by a participating
HOAL Taxidermist. Do not have your trophies mounted in a foreign country
or by a non-participating Taxidermist. HOAL will not cover foreign
Taxidermy charges and/or shipping of finished mounts from foreign
countries.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding
this information. Have a safe and enjoyable adventure.
Sincerely,
Randy Mitchell
Hunt of a Lifetime National Taxidermy Coordinator
