Our small museum holds a good variety of fur bearing animals like these
beautiful award winning pine martens that Mr. Grignon mounted for his
museum. As a boy Mr. Grignon used to go into the woods with his woodsman
father. There he was left to amuse himself all day long, there was no
way to go home or another house to go into. He learned how to take care
of himself and stay warm even in the dead of winter! One way to amuse
himself was by watching the animals. He got the idea for this mount when
he remembered watching red squirrels clamber over his fathers tools as
a child. The Pine Marten above and the Red Fox pups below were World Taxidermy
Competition winners.

The red fox pups were mounted from a scene Mr. Grignon remembered when
as a boy he discovered a fox den. He sat for hours and watched the little
critters play at the den entrance. He always hoped to see the mother bringing
food to her pups but never did. Red Fox are common carriers of Rabies
and should never be handled when approached. Red Fox are very wary and
would never approach a human unless they were sick. When a wild animal
seems friendly, that is the time to beware!
