2010 Catalog
Welcome to Matuska Taxidermy Supply Company
e are proud to bring you our new 2010 Matuska supply catalog. We continue to expand, adding only the best products suited for the taxidermy industry. Our sculptors have been very busy designing and sculpting for you one of a kind works of art. We want to bring attention to “World Champion” Aaron Connelly’s sculptures which you will find featured on page __. Aaron has added to his mule deer line as well his magnificent elk forms. We are very excited to bring you Aaron’s “Best in the World” Live Sculpting Division bugling bull elk pedestal with a never before seen pre-installed Mohr mouth cup. (page __) This combination promises to give you one of the easiest to mount on and most accurate bugling bull forms available. Look for more of Aaron's new wall mount bugling elk forms throughout 2010. Aaron, along with some technical support from “World Champion” and big cat specialist Phil Soucy, brings you two outstanding new mountain lion poses sold exclusively at Matuska Taxidermy Supply Company. We look forward to more of Aaron's mountain lion sculptures in the upcoming year.
this past year. The Competitor’s Choice manikins continues to be one of the best fitting forms on the market and will produce a customer pleasing mount every time. If you’ve never mounted on a Competitor’s Choice form, give one a try and you’ll discover, like so many good taxidermists have, the pleasure of a proper fit and a great whitetail look. Put the fun back in mounting deer! When it comes to sheep, nobody knows them better than “World Champion” Dawayne Dewey from Cody, Wyoming. Don’t miss Dawayne’s nice selection of bighorn shoulder forms as well as his majestic lifesize Desert Bighorn and change-out heads. Dawayne’s sculptures are the most accurate sheep forms on the market. In addition to our many new manikins, you will find many new tools and products developed to make your work easier and more lifelike. In closing we want to thank you for your past patronage and look forward to serving you throughout the coming year. We love hearing from you, so feel free to call with any questions, concerns, or comments.
We continue to add fabulous whitetail manikins to the Competitor’s Choice line. “World Champions” Brian Olson, Pat Wagner and “International Champion” Mike Yeska have added many new whitetails
