Here are some photos of the original Abbagoochi siting on a shelf in my parent’s home. There is also a picture of the book that Jim Wilson wrote about the entire Abbagoochi hoax.

I was involved in this, it was one of Jim Wilson’s best stories. I was all in when he came to me with the idea. He eventually wrote a book about it, titled the Abagoochie Gotcha. The original Abagoochie still sits on a shelf in my parents home.

It's been a successful year. We are only able to accommodate 10 additional deer for the year. If you're interested in bringing one, please contact me to reserve a spot before they become unavailable. Spots will fill up quickly, so don't miss this opportunity.

I’ve been having a lot of deer coming into the shop with capes cut in the wrong places. Follow the blue lines in this picture. Stay out of the white hair in the armpits!! Leave enough cape behind the shoulders (at least 8 inches). Leave some of the neck in so your taxidermist can get a good measurement. Doing this will make sure that you have a better mount in the end.

If you’re interested in having a deer mounted or know anyone that is, we only have a few spots left. Call to reserve yours.

Tomorrow is the opening day of r***e season in WV and we can’t wait to see what comes in!!Remember to leave plenty of hide if you want a good mount! Cut up the BACK OF THE LEGS, following the brown/white line up the back of the armpit, NOT up the chest and across the middle of the armpit.
Here's a great 3 minute video tutorial for how to skin a deer for a shoulder mount. https://youtu.be/Gi5cBgd9i1k

We will be taking deer by appointment only. Please call or text 304-644-3004 to coordinate. If there is no answer please leave a message and I will call you back as soon as possible.

Please note: We only have 30 remaining spots this year so be sure to call to reserve yours.

We hope everyone has a safe and successful hunt! 🦌
