Taxidermy Cache

[+mrking]

Just wondering if any taxidermists have made a cache with one of thier animals.

 

Wouldn't that be funny to be looking for a cache and it turns out it is the bird that was sitting in the tree since you got there.

I've seen one in Florida that was a plastic decoy.

Nothing similar to your idea, so far.

I'm not sure, but I don't think that animals are as, well... weather resistant after bring stuffed as they were when they were 'active'.

There is a very creative series of 20 or so caches that are all bird themed. There's owls sitting in trees with cache containers inside them, all the way down to hummingbird-house micros. The one I recall most vividly was a birdhouse hide, done after finding a dozen or so other birdhouse hides. I nonchalantly opened the front of the birdhouse to retrieve the cache container, and there was... A BIRD! I jumped back, and it took me a few minutes to realize that the bird was stuffed.

That is great! I had a good laugh... no doubt they planned it so you would be shocked when you opened it.

Haven't seen an actual stuffed animal, but I found a cache not long ago that was covered with fur. It was hidden under a rock, and you had to reach in and feel around. Grabbing something fur-covered in this context generally causes the finders to jump!

Now the wildlife have one more reason to worry. It's got to be disheartning to know that someone may one day hunt you down and kill you just so they can stick a 35mm film canister up your a**

Well, in that same series of caches Lep mentioned above, there was one almost like that.

It was a crow handpuppet, up in a tree, with a cache up it's a** bu** place where you would put your hand on a handpuppet.

 

The rules we were playing by in our little group was the last person to spot the cache had to retrieve/replace it. Thank goodness i wasn't last on this one!

I have found my share of Ceramic Frogs, Hedgehogs, Rabbits, and a Fox. I even had to wrestle a cache out of the mouth of a Collard Lizard.

 

I like the idea of making someone jump when they feel fur in a natural cavity.

The only problem is certain reptiles might find these cavities attractive also. My favorite Animal themed cache was a Bronze Warthog that you had to fondle in order to get a micro.

I found one that was a little bird glued to a round candy tin setting in a nest. The nest was zip tied to a tree branch. None of it was real, realistic but not real. The bird and nest looked like something from a silk flower shop.

not really a cache but a friend thought her parrots were nesting in a bird box because she hadn't seen them for a while she opened the box wanting to see the babies:cute:... the only 'baby' that was in there was a very happy 4ft carpet python.
