Deer rug question
« on: July 23, 2013, 09:38:45 PM »
I have a question for the Taxidermists on the site. Has anyone ever done a full deer rug with a complete head and horns attached?

Interesting idea. Tagging to see if so and if there are any pictures put up.

Not a taxidermist, but my friend had one done on a pinto blacktail spike buck...It's awesome.

How would you attach the horns to the skin?  Superglue?

I would guess it would be done with skull plate or like a bear rug, but with a taxidermy deer head form instead of a bear head form.

Hopefully somebody has some pictures they can post up.

Considered having this done on an antelope. I saw it done with a mountain goat and it looked awesome.
