Bean Counters 2014 Arizona Bull
« on: February 25, 2015, 02:48:44 PM »
So this being my first shoulder mount I was too ignorant to ask the guys this question. Is it norm for there to be a 3" ridge  on the hide over the snout? I think ive seen this before and it looks as  though it's supposed to simulate a blood vessel  :dunno: the paranoid voices in my head tell me that the hide got bunched up and stuck together in the mounting of the hide. I don't know if glue is used or not which would cause it to be stuck...  :dunno:

Not an obvious flaw like bad stitching or poor eye sets. I know some taxis add little things to achieve realism. One taxi I use puts super glue drops on the whiskers. Looks cool. I think the main thing is do you like the overall mount. From the pic you showed it looks pretty good.

Are you talking about the crease looking ridge right above the nose?

I don't remember there being a scar. But he was on 'roid rage and screaming his head off at a couple other bulls that I had to chose from in the moment of truth  :IBCOOL:

I cut a 3mm hole under his eye when caping and hat was my highest fear.

Wow..

That crease/scar/ridge whatever you call it doesn't look like it belongs.
