What can be done with Crocodiles?

[Fatback]

That's fantastic-looking skin, may I know who tanned it for you? And of course, you can make some bespoke shoes, boots etc...

American Tanning Company in Griffin, GA is who I’ve used for all my alligators from
here in Georgia. They do a fantastic job.

This was done in FL about 25 years ago, and unfortunately I do not remember who the tanning business was.

More than likely Sebring custom tanning in Sebring florida

I gotta have one of these before too long...

Coffee or card table either one!

Like a Bear rug?

Yes

Thinking of adding a Croc to my next hunt. What interesting things have you done with skull and hides? I am sure I do not want to fasten it to my living room ceiling for display, but it would start a discussion for sure.

OK here is photo of the croc on the ceiling he sent me...

I got this treatment done on the skull. I like it.

I have the skin naturally tanned on felt… Not yet displayed.

This originally was done as a 13’ 2” flat skin rug. I guess I am spatially challenged as I did not realize how big that really was. After spending years in the garage, I got creative and cut the head off the rug so it could be displayed on my porch. Don’t miss the rest of the rug at all.

I thought I might be the only one to think of that. looks good. Another ceiling thought- I told Carien at Bullseye taxidermy that I would mount my wart hog shoulder on my bedroom ceiling. Being a widower I can do what I want. She pointed out the next Mrs. would not go for it. Besides, if it fell in the middle of the night, the papers would say" Woman injured in her bedroom by a wart hog." Not possible in the midwest. Had to concede that women are right , most of the time.

I would not have the floor space to display it properly either.
But I did start to think a Croc rug might be cheaper than a bear rug.
I can’t see myself spending the full amount of a proper grizzly bear hunt with n myself.
