“From the wild, to the wall!”
This week we take a look at how Tagged and Bagged Preservation Kits have worked for "Tazman" out of Florida.
Leonard “Tazman” Qualls is owner of Full Choke Fowl Taxidermy, Central Florida’s premier wild fowl taxidermist with a reputation built on realism, detail, and honesty. Catering solely to the serious Wild Fowl Hunter who is interested in preserving their hunting memories with an upscaled, museum quality show piece, whether it be waterfowl or turkeys.
"The reason I love the Tagged and Bagged system is because the kit is completely turnkey. Everything someone needs to prepare their trophy for the taxidermist is in the kit, and the time alone to gather these items from different places is reason enough to buy the pre-assembled kit. Not to mention, the materials are of very top quality! The bag is much thicker mill than any standard food grade freezer bag or even contractors trash bags. You can’t punch your finger through the plastic! The zipper enclosure on the bags is extremely tight and will not allow air in, which is one of the main ingredients for freezer burn. Freezer burn is one of the main reasons I recommend all my clients use the Tagged and Bagged system because it’s detrimental to the bird’s feet and bill. As an expert in my field who casts my own heads on my waterfowl, I don’t want freezer burn and shrinkage to alter the head or bill. As for the feet, when they get freezer burned, they lose their shape and the skin is completely dried out, making it very difficult to inject the feet with preservative resins and recreating a lifelike look and blood pressure that I desire, and so should you. Get the Tagged and Bagged system. No matter who your taxidermist is, they will appreciate the care you’ve already taken to make their job easier to preserve your trophy."
Tazman sets the standard for bird mounts in the taxidermy industry. We are honored to be able to work with him and make sure he gets the best birds possible so he can put out absolute masterpieces.
