CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 20, 2007 I got to see Gino's lion mount today in person and it really is great. That face is intense! Clay did a great job. And for those that are not aware of it, Clay is the only taxidermist sponsor on this site! Thanks Clay! Those considering getting a mount done should go up to his place and check out his work in his studio. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 25, 2007 Tim Rajsich of TR Taxidermy in Flagstaff has been doing my mounts since I moved to Flagstaff. Here is a pedestal mount of a coues taken over ten years ago. I have included some closeups. Look at the eyes, nostril depth, ear butts, lip tuck when choosing your taxidermist. Tim has done several other nice mounts for me. I went the cheapest route on my first mounts when living in Texas, and you get what you pay for.

peloncillo Report post Posted August 25, 2007 Totally lifelike mount there Doug, I agree you get what you pay for. Keven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 25, 2007 In 2002, I took this antelope from southwest Utah. Tim Rajsich of TR Taxidermy did this wall pedestal. I like the offset wall pedestal form/manikin with or without base better than a normal shoulder mount form as it puts more life back into the mount, imo. Ooops, how'd these woodies sneak in here?

wetmule Report post Posted August 25, 2007 Very nice mounts Doug, Tim is an excellent taxidermist and a really great guy. Two of the best are Henry Aguillar in Kingman he's the best Muley taxi around, IMO. & Dan Lee in Dewey for Coues, can't miss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 25, 2007 Henry does real nice sheep mounts. A friend had his done by Henry. Hoping Tim can do mine one of these years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted August 26, 2007 Several other people have mentioned my buddy, Chris Harlow, of Harlow's Wildlife Studio. And I mentioned that he had done my sheep mounts for me, but had not posted any pics on this thread of them. When Amanda stopped by my house she was very impressed with my how my Dall mount was done and it prompted me to post again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted August 26, 2007 Here are the pics of my Desert ram **. Harlow's Wildlife Studio is the only shop that I would take my stuff to in southern AZ, the detail he puts into all his mounts amazes me. Also, because of how much time he spends in the field looking at live sheep and ground checking Monster rams with clients.... it kind of makes him hard to beat on any sheep mount or custom sheep mount! ** and a bonus side look of my Dall ram. Sorry, for the long downloads... ... after seeing RR's close-ups I thought I should show off the these rams a bit better than I did my deer pics.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josh Report post Posted August 30, 2007 I just got this buck back from Marks Southwestern Taxidermy and I think it turned out real nice. I really like the way the wall pedastal looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you send me some pix of your Desert mount, the base really. Mine is just getting ready to be mounted but I haven't settled on a base yet. I'd like to see a close up of yours. Thanks.

I've seen Devin's work and it is top notch. I wish I'd known about Devin before I killed my muley (or my Coues for that matter - I still haven't gotten him back from my *other* taxidermist ).
