On My Own Taxidermy!! Wifes Deer

[thegamegtr]

Just got this done. This is the buck my wife shot last fall. I had to learn how to do taxidermy so I could afford to put animals like this on the wall. Just this year, I have my sons whitetail, my daughters muley, my muley and antelope to mount up. If I had a taxidermy business, I would call it 10 foot taxidermy...meaning from 10 feet it looks pretty good
Sorry about the black and white photo--not real good at this computer stuff

Did you use a video or book or anything to help you? If so which one. I think it looks great!

But seriously you have done a great job there.

That mount looks great.I had a mount done by a guy in the business for many years that everyone recomended that dosnt look half that good.I would say you have some talent.

Looks very nice , wish I could say my first one looks that good. I keep it around just to remind me how far I've come. Lawnboy if you are looking for a dvd on mounting heads , Rick Carter' whitetails a to z is excellent. It is available from Wasco.

Good idea...try it out on the wife's deer first! Looks great!

 

[Mikeflies]

Thanks! I learned from a friend who learned from a very good taxidermist. If I run into any problems, I have found that taxidermy.net has a lot of helpful tutorials. Thanks Again
