I was going to say when you get the new mount done to use that backboard as long as a shoulder mount will fit on it properly. Thats a cool buck!!

Tore the mount apart last night, whole skull and lower jaw was used, a combo of dried grass, plaster and maybe insulation was used as "stuffing", the skull was nailed to a 1"x4" which was the form.  Taxidermy in those days was sure barbaric!

Personally, I'd perioxide the skull and hang it inside for a while as a euro mount (taxi later).  That'd really make it look big!

i think that's cool as hell.....you've got a piece of history from over 65 years ago and it was kin to you...i've only got a few pics of my granddad on my mom's side from the late 60's when they were packed in on a hunt in the north cascades....he's actually holding a blue grouse he caught bare handed. as far as my graddad on my father's side the only thing i have to remember him is the purple heart we got in WWII along with the record of him getting shot in the shoulder.....he did bring home a Soviet 7.62X25 mm Tokarev stamped 1939 CCCP that i have in the safe along with the take home paperwork.....I don't have any blood offspring myself as I married into a "pre-made" family but plan on handing it down to my granddaughter (who's now 2 going on 13) when she's old enough...love reminiscing about the "good times"...thanks for sharing
