2020 Antelope back from the Taxidermist

[cam1936]

I got to pick up my 2020 Antelope the other day. First animal I have ever got shoulder mounted. When I was skinning I was in full autopilot and sloppily cut up the neck like I usually do before I realized what I was even doing. Taxidermist had to do some repairing, but it's not super noticeable, thank god!

What beautiful animals antelope are!

Right on.

Beautiful. Canada's nod to the African plains.

Nice goat and great job by the taxidermist. Antelope hair is hard to work with.

Does it still smell like sweat?

i don't think that ever goes away, i've had several and they all smelled to the day i got rid of them.
my brother keep his, he shot a alberta record that year, i think around 19 1/2", that's close to 30 years ago, still stinks.

Thanks for the kind words!

No sweat smell. No smell at all, maybe a slightly earthly/leather smell if you put your nose right up to it.

Looks great, what time of the season did you get him? I have a speed goat hunt on my list of things to do.

I've shot 2 Pronghorn Antelope, no odor at all on either.

I love hunting Pronghorns.

You need to remove the two scent glands in the cheeks from the cape before mounting it. A lot of taxidermists who don’t do many antelope miss them, and they will continue to stink.
