Becker Report post Posted April 5, 2006 I finally got around to mounting my coues deer in between my classes and shed hunting. Thought you all might like to see it. Turned out pretty good for my first taxidermy job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4Falls Report post Posted April 9, 2006 Excellent work Becker, and a very unique mount. Ive been wanting to get into taxidermy just for my own personal stuff. Did you take classes? I'd really like some more info if you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEERSLAM Report post Posted April 9, 2006 Based on that one pic, looks like you did a heck of a job and to start out on an open mouth mount, very brave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becker Report post Posted April 9, 2006 I haven't taken any classes or anything. My father does some work on the side, and I have been working at Chuck Meacham Taxidermy, learning secret info there. I put the mount tegether in a day. Then modeled the inside of the mouth one day in an hour or so. Then painted it another day for a couple hours. It was kind of a long process just because I was working on it inbetween school and work and hunting. I am looking foward to my next mount!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
