The SkullHooker Shows Off and Compliments a Taxidermist’s Work
OutdoorHub 08.18.11
Prehistoric man would have surely decorated his cave with a Woolly Mammoth Skull if he could have lifted and hung it on a nail. While weapon advances have led to few hunters heading out with a spear to collect meat these days, many are still stuck in the Pleistocene era hanging European mounts on the wall with a nail. And who could blame them? For thousands of years there wasn’t a better option—until the SkullHooker™ was introduced.
The problem has remained in educating the hunter, and who better to do that than the hunter’s favorite taxidermist? What happens when a hunter goes to a taxidermist to have his or her trophy mounted? They wander up and down, looking at the mounts on the wall, or browse through a brochure of mounts and pick the one that strikes a chord. So why would a taxidermist go through all of the work to boil and bleach a skull or maintain the bugs to create a spectacular European mount and then just hand it over. The work may be exceptional, but if it does not have the proper presentation, all of the work is for naught.
Taking it back a step farther, the taxidermist has to get the job in the first place. When a prospective customer comes through the door, unsure of what he wants, he has to be impressed before committing to dropping his hard-earned greenbacks. Would you hang Picasso with a thumbtack? Of course not, which is exactly why the SkullHooker is a taxidermist’s best friend. The SkullHooker shows off and compliments the taxidermist’s work.
The SkullHooker offers a professional-looking display to entice a customer. Then, once the customer is admiring it and ready to bite, showing the
SkullHooker’s ability to change the aspect from left to right to straight can set the hook.
SkullHooker products are available in full-color retail packaging so all the taxidermist has to do is simply clean and whiten the skull. No more drilling skulls and dealing with the traditional wood plaque, saving the taxidermist valuable time, which translates to saving money. The Little Hooker—designed for small to mid-sized game and the Big Hooker for large game species worldwide are currently offered in graphite black and robust brown.
