Outdoor Writer Report post Posted September 12, 2013 Really cool mount! Looks GREAT! Who did the taxidermy? It was done by Chris Krueger -- Krueger Creations. The whole thing was sort of a coordinated effort between us just like the bobcat/rattlesnake he did for me. I started with this lifesize one that I found on the Web and did a bit of editing with PS until it looked somewhat like the finished product I wanted. The original: Edited Version: Chris took it from there. He made oodles of changes to the original form and once it was on the plywood backing, he brought it over to my house to make sure it would fit the allotted space. Then he went about doing the rock work. He used an unpainted faux rock that comes in 4'X8' sheets, which he cuts into small pieces that are screwed to either the wood skeleton or each other. Once that is done, he fills any spaces with paper mache and/or plaster of Paris. Final step was Chris' excellent paint job that really gave life to the rock work. It looks even better in person. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
