Taxidermy

[scruffee]

So who here does their own taxidermy/mounts? I'm by no means a pro but for me it started years ago with turkey fans then moved on to deer hoof and antlers mounts and now euro mounts. Show off what you've made!

Here's a few thing's I've done:











Next up is a euro mount of the wild boar I shot on Monday

I hate the deer feet but the packboard set-up redeemed it. That was very creative. I like it.

Yeah my wife isn't too fond of hem either, which is why they're in the basement haha

The packboard deer is very nice, great idea!
I did up a couple deer feet like yours but have never mounted them. They are in the garage somewhere.......

That's an old school back pack, I had the same one in grade school...cheap Bi-way p.o.s. Lol

I hate finding dead bucks in the woods....
But this turned out being a nice way to show him off

Takes up a lot of wall space but looks so cool!

Hey Chris, those turkey mounts look awesome. Would you mind sharing how you did the wings and how you mounted them to the board?

 

[redneckchris]

You have to bone out the wings from the arm pit side, dehydrate the skin with borax then I screw the skin right to the back of the plaque with screws and washers and the plaque is held out from the wall about 3" by a piece of 2x4 cut down
I'll put up some pictures soon when I have a chance to take one down and snap a few shots
