Save Your Deer Trophy By Proper Field Dressing
‘ Sony I can't do anything with what you’ve brought me,” is to the taxidermist If vou’re unable to take the soecim a n to the
often said to successful hunteis wanting their trophies mounted taxidermist immediately, put it in a deep freeze or refrigerator.
Good aim at a vital spot is helpful, but proper field dressing
can save youi animal for mounting by a taxidermist
Manv hunteis make diastic mistakes in field diessmg First
they slash the deer’s thioat and later make a cut from between
the'hind legs clear up to the lower jaw This carelessness makes
mounting of the dsei head impossible Other hunters leave too
httie skin attached to the head Even if mounting isn’t their goal
they should cut the deer carefully in case they change then minds
later
' Having seen some of these mistakes occur in his own shoo,
Eemhoid Oembinski, taxideimist for the anatomy department in
the School of Vetennaiy Medicine, Umveisity of Missouri
Columbia can appreciate good field diessmg Since deer season
is appicaching he suggests the following helpful hints for deer
hunteis
‘ To save the head of a tiophy deer foi mounting, cut onen
the abdomen and chest fvom the hind legs to 6 inches behind the
fiont legs and immediately remove the intestines lungs, heait,
and liver Remove the vena cava and the aoita the two large
blood vessels along the back After you tiansfer the deei to where
you want to cut it up, make your fust cut in the skin mst behind
the fiont legs and cut completely around the body (Diagram 1,
line A) Next cit down each ficnt leg £Ol about 6 inches (Dia
giam 1, line B) Then, on top of the ba"k, make one stiaight cut
along *he of the neck un to the head (Diagiam 1 line C)
Skm the dsei from the ongmal cut on the back towaid the front'
of the neck up to the head, or as fai as possible, and cut the neck
bone with a s<-w (Diagiam 2)
“Don’t waste any time in getting the head and attached skin

immediatelv with instructions for mounting and when ’nm would

Check Fit Of Children’s Clothes
Children’s clothes should fit
the first time they’re wol-n,
rather than be grown into.
Check for these fitting guides
when you buy children’s
clothes:
Shoulder seams should be at
shoulder line, not drooping over
shoulder bone.
Waistlines should be midway
between the hipbone and the
end of rib cage.
Pant legs and sleeves
shouldn’t drag.
When selecting a pattern,
choose the pattern size closest
to your child’s measurement.
Never use age as a determining
factor.
Take waist and length mea
surements any adjustments
of patterns should be made be
fore you cut the fabric.
Tie a string around the child's
waist to find his natural waist
line.
Avoid use of pins when fitt
ing if possible. Hand or ma
chine-basting is best.
You can allow for growth in
garments you make without the
extra room showing or being
uncomfortable. Add seveial
inches to the skirt length and
take a deep tuck just above the
hem’s edge.
If dress has a waistline it’s
possible to put a tuck at the
waistline seam.
Loose pleats can be placed at
shoulders and released as the
child grows.
