Name is Dave.

Taxidermist called a week and a bit ago saying my mount was done and will be drying for two weeks. I was like a kid waiting for Christmas!

I was framing a buddies basement when the taxidermist called today at 6 so i packed my tools and hit the road!

What an awesome job! pictures do it absolutely no justice. Ill have to hang it outside and snap a few during the day light hours.

Crinkling the nose makes it.

OK, I'll ask. What's up with the blisters on the tongue ? Something peculiar with your Ontario Blacks ?

Grizz

They are cankers from eating sooo many donuts at the bait sites

Which are not at all like the cankers they get from eating rotten salmon, elk carcasses, oates or raspberries...

The tongue when curled back I guess on certain animals cause ripples.. Or it's blisters From the bait. Jk! It looks great in person

Around $700 money well spent in my book and I WILL be going back to this taxidermist. Very professional and work that exceeded my expectations. The wrinkles on the snout is a great touch.

Love the seatbelt. Good job.

It's a "snarling tongue" vs a "relaxed tongue". He is snarling, not eating.

Looks like a job well done. I have a bear rug coming back in a few months, I think my next one will be a shoulder mount.

 

[mrgoat]

Very nice mount, if you cut the seat out of an old pair of jeans and hung it off the teeth like he had just ripped them off someone that would be cool.

 

[X-man]

Nice mount, but it needs a little brushing to restore the fur's loft. It will look way nicer after a little primping.
