Wet Deer
« on: March 14, 2009, 09:26:17 PM »
This might be a weird question but here is goes.  Have any of you mounted a deer or elk and made it look like it was wet.  It seem like it is always raining during hunting season on the west side. With that in mind I have always thought it would be different and pretty cool to see a mount like that.  Not sure if it can even be done :dunno:

It can be done, I saw an elk mount done like that about twenty years ago.  He looked liked he was in a snow shower, with a skiff of snow on his antlers and his hair wet and water (fake, of course) dripping down off his mane.  It was done with resin and looked unusual, but I'm not sure what the life of such a mount would be.  Fake snow is the world's best dust attractor and I'm not sure how the resin in the hair would react over time.  Short answer, yes it can and has been done.

First time I have ever had anyone ask.  No never done a deer to look wet.

On an otter or a beaver you would use a hair gel, dont know about elk or deer might be a dust collector with the amount you would have to use.
