Its a little bit like doing my own trim carpentry... I look at it and see every pathetic line that is wrong. The deer I'm doing now are big ones and I hope I don't screw things up on them, I would never have the balls to do a sheep or something other than a dumb old deer/elk, those capes are just money if you hack them, easily replaceable next season or from a seller. Pay the price with a needle and thread and you will learn to go slower when fleshing!!

You did a really great job squirrel! I am afraid if I tried I would end up with the one I posted. Oh, and it was box of rags form company.

Holy smokes, I think they just hacked off the head and nailed it to the wall, maybe stuffed a rag or two down the throat.
squirrel, yours turned out waaaay above average for a DIY'er, those are pretty good! My dad trained me in finish carpentry, I now cannot walk into a house without silently judging every stick of trim, door, window, shelf, and cabinet. Bad taxidermy just bugs me the same way, and it might be worse because I wouldn't know where to start in fixing it...

Ordered some forms over the weekend. I'll keep you guys in the loop on how it goes!
Also ordered a mallard mount. Only thing worse than paying a taxi $500 for a deer is paying $400 for a duck ha... even if I fail at mounting a deer if I can come out of this with being able to do waterfowl I'll be happy!
