Title: My 2016 mount
Post by: A.S. on March 25, 2017, 05:30:00 PM
I just picked up my coyote mount from my taxidermist.  I killed it opening morning of this past season.

I have quite a few mounts (OK, well....a lot!)  This one is hands down one of my favorites.

Good idea Alan. I like it!  And he doesn't take up a bunch of space either.

Thanks guys. It will go well with my red fox that I killed a few years ago with my recurve.  These pedestal mounts are really nice!

Wow awesome mounts. I missed a coyote before with my recurve. It felt worse than missing a giant whitetail. You got skills lol

Thanks!  when I killed the fox with my recurve, my taxidermist said that it was a better accomplishment than killing a big buck with a compound or gun.  He's a pretty good salesman, but I kind of agree with him.  The coyote is another step up from the fox.  I also have a full body mount fox that I killed with another weapon a bunch of years ago.

Very nice! It would not have crossed my mind to do a head mount on a coyote.

It's more like my whole house!  LOL. Not all trad kills so I won't post them here.  I have several from Africa, and a couple from out west.  Most are deer and a bear from VA and WV

I have a bobcat mount that looks kinda goofy    :biglaugh:      :dunno:   Cats are one of the hardest mounts to do and get the eyes and facial appearance to look natural.

Allen-looks like Dale did a fine job for you-as he always does. Cool idea with the pedestal mounts.

Agree with you 110% Allen on the difficulty of killing a yote with a stick and string. We have more than enough here in NJ but just seeing one is an event. My club took 4 this past gun season(s) and I'm sure didn't even dent the overall population.

And of course Fish and Wildlife downplays the yote's effect on the deer population. What a joke.

Thanks guys, I hung a nice shelf to put it on yesterday. I also had the tail tanned to hang beside it.  It really is a nice addition to my living room.
