WildHeritageTaxidermy Report post Posted June 6, 2011 This is my boy's first successful hunt and he wanted to mount it himself....first as a lifesize but then decided to rug it. He will be entering it the Youth class at the Taxidermy show this weekend. He is 9yrs old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

afmalinois Report post Posted June 6, 2011 That is awesome. Those squirrels are cool looking. I wish I would of whacked a couple before I left AZ. Our tree rats don't look that good in VA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knifeboy Report post Posted June 7, 2011 That turned out amazing! I love the black color for the backing, it really shows the white fur of the belly. I am extreamly impressed that a nine year old was able to do that. Looks like it runs in the family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WildHeritageTaxidermy Report post Posted June 7, 2011 The black trim is suede and he cut strips and used his sisters sewing machine on the "ruffle" setting to make the edging. He had lots of ups and downs with this project , and is thrilled with all the compliments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted June 8, 2011 Good luck in the competition. The rug format really shows the coloration of the Abert very well, much more than with a full body mount, imo. Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
