Steve Bledsoe Replicas are not traditional taxidermy skin mounts where the skin and other parts of an animal are used to create the finished product. Each replica is individually cast in urethane resin from reusable molds which are made from actual deceased specimens. Specimens used in the mold-making process are acquired from museums, zoos, private collections and an occasional unfortunate road kill. Once a mold is made it can be used for years to produce multiple copies.
