Title: Bringing a Memory Back to Life
Post by: FerretWYO on June 26, 2014, 03:30:00 PM

Some of you will remember this hunt with my Dad, friend Aram and myself a few years ago. I just finished my Dads mount from this hunt. It is really fun to bring these animals back. This is even more special as my dad went on two hunts without even seeing one before this trip.

Here is the video.

The mount. Dad will finish the trim on the base once he gets it home.

Love the mount! I did a little part time taxidermy many years ago (primarily ducks and geese). I always tried to bring a little more realism by placing the birds in a "natural" position. You're obviously getting / have gotten that down to an art. Love the posture and you can see the "venom" in his expression. Great job!

That's a spectacular looking mount, well done! Out of curiosity, how did you get started in taxidermy and what advice might you give someone who was considering taking it up?
