Title: Got my mounts back!
Post by: carparcher on May 27, 2008, 06:40:00 PM

My taxidermist finally got my javelina mount done. It took him over a year, but good things are worth waiting for. He felt bad that it took so long, so he bumped my deer that I shot at the end of December to the front of the "line." I got two animals in one trip. My office wall is starting to get a bit crowded... I can't wait to see the look on my wife's face when she gets home from work tonight!

I think that javi would go good in your bedroom. Both look nice.

They are NICE! look great. Gotta love both of them but that javie mount looks sharp!

J

Tip though: take a butter knife and run around the deer between the mount and the wall and it will tuck that hair down making a sharper edge.

"..tuck that hair down making a sharper edge."

And I flared mine out a-purpose!! :eek:

Exceptional animals, and a great job preserving them. Yup, javie over the bed...I wish I could see her face when she comes home too!

Man, you sure are lucky if you can get away with that Javelina! My wife is pretty easy going, but when I announced I was having my 250lb. hog done she read me the riot act. :knothead: BTW: beautiful mounts...your taxi did a great job.

I tried the butter knife technique, and it does look better. Thanks for the idea!
