Mounted in Alaska

After a client harvests an African Lion, Russ tests the skills of his newest employee, Sam, a taxidermist from Mississippi who claims to be the "Cat-Man." Russ must create the world's first ever King Crab mold in order to save an old broken crab for a former fisherman.

Russ and his team are given the task of refurbishing a 40-year-old Polar Bear Mount from a popular family restaurant, but Doug almost screws up the bleaching process. Dave must master the ancient Japanese art of Gyotaku so he can make a paper print of a large Fish in time for a client's family reunion.

Russ is excited but weary of creating bad Ju-Ju when a client brings in the shop's first ever Lord Derby Eland. Aaron has to quickly complete a Himalayan Tahr so Russ can get the client off his couch, but Dave complicates things when he screws up the rock molds for the base.

Russ and his team are given an unusual request when a client asks them to cut his Warthog in half and mount both halves busting through his wall. Aaron is given a Coyote as his first full-sized mount, but an impatient client isn't impressed with the look of the howl

Sam and Russ butt heads over attaining the right look for the shop's first ever gigantic Lord Derby Eland. Aaron has to quickly complete a Himalayan Tahr so Russ can get the finicky client, his good friend, off his couch, but Dave complicates things when he screws up the rock molds for the base.

While Russ is busy setting up for the Safari Club International Taxidermy Competition, Aaron and Sam race against time and compete against each other to complete their mounts in hopes of winning a coveted Blue Ribbon. With only two weeks to go, Sam is asked to completely re-model an entire leopard, while Aaron's client changes his mind about what he wants in the middle of the mounting process.
