112coues Report post Posted April 9, 2016 While I was at work today my boys decided to go treasure hunting behind the house. A couple hours later I got a text with this picture. They are super pumped on their first deer sheds! Too bad I wasn't there to see the look on their face when they first found them. 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted April 10, 2016 Awesome find at any age! May I suggest having them mounted? Clay Goldman of Mogollon Taxidermy (and CWT.com sponsor) in Payson, AZ did a matching muley set for me and they look great. I think taxidermist call it a "plaque mount" or "panel mount" or something like that. I did my own mounting job with a pair of coues sheds but I like the professional job much better. (DIY taxidermy is kinda like DIY outpatient surgery in that you can do it and come out ok, sometimes.) It's so rare to find a matching set and to find a fresh set without sun damage or critter nibbles is even more remarkable. It will make a great conversation piece for years to come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually do part time taxidermy work and my sons and I talked about mounting the sheds for a little father sons project. then they can hang it in their room. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
