Title: Croc Mount is done
Post by: Rob on August 17, 2018, 03:37:49 PM: After 2 years, I finally got the skin mount on my Croc.

I wanted something a bit unique and I think I hit the mark! Not sure where it will go. It may need to just come out for BBQ's!

The head portion is artificial as I wanted a skull mount and with Crocs and gators, you can't do both.

Here are a couple field photos.

Love the shot of it on the boat with my dad!

There is some long arming going on in the group shot.

In the collage, the one standing was my croc, and the second collage are frames from the video at the time of the shot.

Post by: Rob on August 18, 2018, 05:05:10 AM: It was just over 13 feet. I want to say by one, maybe 2 inches.

I missed a 15 to 16 foot monster. It was crazy big.

Not sure on the weight.

Photos of the big one.

Can't imagine seeing one of the big 20+ footers in person. Giant killing machines. Don't know how the locals even go near the water (though as a kid down in texas I loved swimming and boating in gator water).

Post by: Rob on August 21, 2018, 05:30:18 AM: I think I may mount the whole thing on the wall... I have an unusual wall space near a skylight that may work. Will post photos if it works out.
