    Taxidermy “issue” how to handle?

    This too looks more natural to me. I feel like the pic he sent me the eye sockets had no dimension.

    These eyes look much more natural to me. What a trophy!!

    Taxidermy “issue” how to handle?

    Thanks so much for that response! Love hearing about the “ugly side” of it and the perspective you give

    Taxidermy “issue” how to handle?

    Thanks so much PAhunter for your thorough response. You brought up some very good points and I appreciate the photos you posted as well. I understand they’ll never be as accurate as a live animal, but I just feel it could be a little better. I’ll give him a call this morning and hope to swing...

    Taxidermy “issue” how to handle?

    I did a little looking around and I think “most” commercial quality mounts that I am seeing do not have the eyes built up like they should be- at least from the few mount photos I have seen and can tell on. I feel like it was just a lack of use of reference photos???

    Taxidermy “issue” how to handle?

    I think you’re seeing exactly what I feel I’m seeing. Pronghorns aren’t a super common mount for taxis in this area, so I’m sure it’s not quite as natural for him as the whitetail mounts. Hoping we can get those eyes built up a little more! 🤞🏼

    Taxidermy “issue” how to handle?

    Actually I think it was $700. $650 for regular shoulder and another $50 for wall ped.

    Taxidermy “issue” how to handle?

    Thanks for this. I needed to hear it. So it’s not “too late” to correct this? I’m not being too picky for a $750 mount, am I?

    Taxidermy “issue” how to handle?

    I shot my first pronghorn last Fall. Took it to get mounted and my taxi sends a photo of the hide he just got on the form today. My initial impression was it looked good, but something was just a tic off. Now, I’m not one to tell someone how to do their job, but I also will be living with this...

    Wyoming unit 7

    Sorry, my post looked as if it were aimed at you, which it was not. Good luck though! From what I saw driving from the SE corner of the state to the NW corner of the state and looping around the National Parks you’re likely to have some action wherever you go.

    Wyoming unit 7

    Definitely. I found (through a TON of research) a unit that had virtually NO information about it anywhere on the WWW. I gambled and even paid the Special tag price and had a great hunt in a BEAUTIFUL part of the state. Only a matter of time before someone starts blabbing on a keyboard and...

    If you drive around the west without mudflaps

    We have gravel roads all over the state of Oklahoma. It’s not uncommon to have a chipped windshield, but nothing like what you guys are saying. Went to WY this Fall (first time) and had a rock hit and chip my windshield just outside of Jackson 🤦🏻‍♂️ It’s right in my line of sight too.🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Nissan Titan potential purchase - curious about issues including engine knock

    I have a 2010 that I pull a 12’ dual axle cargo trailer every day with. Rolled 150k just yesterday. I just do routine maintenance and the thing keeps going. The only issues I’ve had have been the spiral cable (clock spring) went out at about 60k. I really should get that fixed so my airbag and...

    Interior misses Great American Outdoors Act deadline

    This is infuriating to me. I was and have been on the fence with this administration starting 4 years ago. This Act was one of the very few things that I was satisfied enough with to win my vote, even with all of the other “issues” I have. Talk about feeling betrayed, especially after casting...
