Taxidermy habitat question

[Mudranger1]

Can anyone help me out on making like a prairie grass base for this. Instructions? or for a semi affordable price build one. I want to kind of mimic the grass he was in and cover up the bolts and maybe the back of the mount

This likely won’t help much but thought I’d post any way. This is Morgan the mule deer, he’s a captain.
Jack looks great!

Don't think that I would want to pay those prices for a single stem of grass!

Have never done it, but how about Elmers Glue brushed on the base, sprinkle dirt from the area, some dead grass from the area, maybe a bug or two(dead of course) and drill small holes and insert the grass stems. I would definitely try a sample board first, see how it works out. Maybe a bit of contour, also, get creative. Toss the spent casing in the grass for kicks. Duh, I was thinking a bit sparser grass, should have looked at the picture closer rather than the happy hunter and buck

Yeah I was really just trying to decide how to get the grass to stick and I will do a trial first. Was thinking of plugging grass into Styrofoam and using Elmer's like you said and sand just couldn't find any real YouTube videos which is highly unusual
