First taxidermy mounts

[Michelle_Nelson]

I started out with a deer.  I hear a lot of people start out with birds though.

Nice lookin first mounts guys (and gal)    Heres a question for ya...if someone were to want to try this whole taxidermy thing out, get some books and videos and such, what would be a good first animal to try??

Grouse and pheasants are pretty easy firsts.

First mounts would be anything you can get and mount up  Try it all! Mine was a deer also.

I still have my first grouse.  It's not pretty   Was never pretty to begin with, and it's been through 20 years of military PCS moves.  I'll snap a pic when I get off work and post it.

I did a grouse, turkey and deer, basically all at the same time.

That was easy to read, do not think it is the thinner, I think it is the AGE    Only thinner you have to worry about is the hairline

Ouch Joe.  Your mirror must be broken, or you obviously haven't looked in it for a while my friend.  I will need a hair cut this week.  You want me to sweep some up for ya. :chuckle  How are the african mounts coming along?  Talk with ya soon.  John

[Michelle_Nelson]

John let your hair grow out for another month.  Than ship it over here and I can use it to practice hair transplant on Joe.

I figgure by the time I get done I will be an expert.

I think you ought to transplant feathers in Joes head instead of hair. Maybe the merganser look LMAO!
