Oh by the way I did that mount back in 1997 or 1998 if I remember right. Now that I think of it , it may have been 1999......hmm.

I don't have a camera right now so I had to take it with my cell phone.  I figgure it is a really crappy mount and really crappy picture isn't going to hurt things. :chuckle: 

You guys are lucky you didn't use an really early season cape for your first mount.  You guys have 10X as much hair on your to cover stuff up.   :tung:

Mine was 1994 I believe.  So that mount has survived about 16 years.  (holy crap time flies)   I'll round up my first bird here shortly.

Hey bone, what does the rest of the sign say that is in your picture?  Nice firsts everyone.  I'm trying to find a picture of my first.  Will post it as soon as I find it.  How embarrassing it will be.  Great thread.  John

OK, here's my first.  Truly a basement job.  Used an old taxidermy book.  I ordered the form too large, and the lips kept tearing on me, but I wouldn't give up on that damn cape... :bash:
