    Has anyone else seen the previews on the history channel about a place in alaska that does taxidermy? How long do you think that will last?
    I can see the activists protesting already.

    I did'nt catch the name of the taxidermist company. But it's gonna be all about them and what they do. I'm excited to see it but I can just here all the crap it's gonna get already.

    Ah, another reality show based in Alaska, I get it now. Isn't there anything going on in Kansas worth putting in a reality show?... oh wait; Jerry Springer! :lol:

    I see it lasting a little while.I will watch maybe three episodes before it gets extremly boring.The only reason I will even watch it at all is because I have never seen a taxidermist at work

    I've watched a couple of the episodes. It's fairly interesting. I did find it a bit strange that one of the mounts they were doing was for an African Lion. I would have thought that being based out of Alaska, the show would feature some of the great game from Alaska.

    I have found the show interesting so far...but not overly impressed with end result of some of the mounts.

    I think it's cool. It's a great concept because in Alaska you never know what's coming through the door. A 90% whitetail shop wouldn't work. That'd get old!

    Its a little to much like that sons of guns show for me. Everything seems to be really scripted. I watched them work on that polar bear and have to say I sure as hell would'nt have paid for that.

    X2, I wouldnt have either, you could see the splice on the muzzle where they added the new hide. The Lion looked like he had that Deer in the headlights look :jaw:Show is interesting though!

    I agree the show is interesting, a little cheesy, but it is nice to see the exposure on prime time tv.

    I thought the Loin was strange. I can't believe you would mount a loin and not show some teeth, kinda looked like a puppy dog pose, not a King of the Jungle pose.
    The polar bear was probably a real tough job, but the face didn't really turn out that good.
    I also thought it was kinda bad when they molded that old crab. The molded crab came out alright, but I'm pretty sure the customer was expecting something different.
