I watched some youtube videos...
Read some books on line.

How hard could it be? Come on.... I think I nailed the eyes

I thought the natural sitting position would be nice

TheHunt · « **Reply #1 on:** April 21, 2014, 05:32:31 PM »

I do like the head mount on this one...

TheHunt · « **Reply #2 on:** April 21, 2014, 05:35:12 PM »

This one needed some clay just above its eyes.

and going full time. great post buddy

Did you kill those near Hanford?

TheHunt · « **Reply #5 on:** April 21, 2014, 05:45:27 PM »

This was a bear that was done to his natural facial expression... Drunk!!!

I love the eye work on this one.

The real tricky part about cats is getting the eyes just right and I have to say you nailed it brother.

My hunting partner makes that same face every time he turns loose a silent but deadly stank bomb

TheHunt · « **Reply #9 on:** April 21, 2014, 06:59:25 PM »

I was getting pretty good with the eyes...

TheHunt · « **Reply #10 on:** April 21, 2014, 07:02:46 PM »

I really started to work on the legs...

You know when you see the natural leg position of an animal...

TheHunt · « **Reply #11 on:** April 21, 2014, 07:24:46 PM »

Here is another fox with some good legs...

hardrichard · « **Reply #12 on:** April 21, 2014, 07:28:10 PM »

there so life like is scary, some of the best work I've ever seen, you nailed the leg work for sure

am on the edge of my chair waiting for your next masterpiece. all other taxidermists look out.

wadu1 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2014, 07:30:19 PM »

Can you make me one of these?? I can almost see the pellets

TheHunt · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2014, 07:34:21 PM »

I made this one for the folks who like legalized marijuana.

TheHunt · « **Reply #15 on:** April 21, 2014, 07:37:47 PM »

This bear was sharing that marijuana hookah with the fox above.

wadu1 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2014, 07:43:38 PM »

Here is my first Civet that TheHunt did for me aint it a piece of wonder!!!

TheHunt · « **Reply #17 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:08:55 PM »

That is Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y work right there...

Almost as good as this cat...

TheHunt · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:11:25 PM »

Here is a lion...

TheHunt · « **Reply #19 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:13:57 PM »

Not sure what this is...

hardrichard · « **Reply #20 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:23:07 PM »

I knew a guy who said he saw one of those......but he had just spent some time with that fox and the hookah

TheHunt · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:31:27 PM »

Go fishing on the Puyallup or Cowlitz and you will swear the WDFW hand out hookah's with your fish punch card.

I'm told doing birds it tough. Best to ease into your bird mounting after mastering cats!

rasbo · « **Reply #24 on:** April 22, 2014, 07:28:32 PM »

ok hunt,Im thinking a very short turn around time
on them fine products

TheHunt · « **Reply #25 on:** April 22, 2014, 07:41:25 PM »

Rasbo.... I am think 2 hours!!! LOL

mossback91 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 22, 2014, 07:54:54 PM »

I have a few animals Id like you to mount. What are you charging?

Rainier10 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 22, 2014, 08:15:44 PM »

If you have to ask you probably can't afford it. You are talking about capturing a trophy for life. As you can see from his work he is a true artist and you just can't put a price tag on that.

Red leaf 67 · « **Reply #28 on:** April 25, 2014, 06:03:16 AM »

I commisioned The Hunt to do this Wolf rug for me, I was very pleased!

I traveled a long way searching to find a taxidermist who can do work like this!

Rainier10 · « **Reply #29 on:** April 25, 2014, 10:26:00 AM »

Hey Hunt, I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, Nature's Way had an add saying he was looking for some help around the shop. I am sure if you show him some of this fine work you have been doing you guys would be able to work something out.

rasbo · « **Reply #30 on:** April 28, 2014, 05:26:11 PM »

OK enough is enough,as a moderater I think its time for you to pony up some sponsorship money for all this free advertisement,

RadSav · « **Reply #31 on:** April 28, 2014, 05:37:30 PM »

My neighbor lost her ugly dog. She asked if I knew anyone that would mount him for her. I asked how she wanted it mounted and she told me, "Acting natural". Well she just sent me the pitchers...You nailed it!
