Hi guys,
I thought you all might be interested in one of my good mates latest taxidermy work....!
Kev Daley has been consistently producing exceptional taxidermy work for many years now and his attention to detail is in my opinion world class.....
I love the way that he has set up this wild dog about to make short work of these unsuspecting little porkers....
If you are interested in looking at more of Kevs work you can check out his website at

Cheers Guy...

I got to see this one in progress on a couple of occasions and many more when I visit him, he really does some great work!
He even modifies the foam mannequins for the different sized animals. Very skilled and he is very modest man with modest pricing.

Howdy Guy, looks like Kev does some nice mounts. I was thinking today about getting my PB boar mounted. I may give Kev a ring and speak with him.
Thanks for posting, cheers Macca.

Awesome looking stuff
Must be very time consuming

For such a modest bloke Kev sure turns out a lot of quality work
I see quite a bit passing through the area. I also get to see a lot of mounts half way through, its amazing how neatly he puts them together, not everyone has this kind of eye for detail..
I even got to see your boar in the early stages.
All I need is a PB to put on a prominant place in the man cave

Looks the goods alright. Is that the first one you got with the Saluki, Guy?
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Hi Moreton,
Yes mate.... He sure was the first with the the Saluki Ibex....
Fingers crossed in the next few weeks the Saluki may see a Fallow buck up close and personal.....
Cheers Guy....
