IowaDeerHunter Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Here she is all done. Tooks a LOT of patience but it was fun and well worth it. I do not have much experience with taxidermy so this was a BIG step. I have only done a doe, breast turkey mount and some fans. Nothing this extravigant. But the only thing people told me is you learn from practicing and that is the only way to do it. For a first timer full body mount I am quite pleased!!! It has its flaws but still looks pretty good in my eye. Just wait until I get it on a base and in a scene, it will blow you away!!! I still have to apoxie and paint. But anybody has anything they see that could be improved next time let me know. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AustinAggie Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: Finished my coyote!!! **PICS** I tell you, I'm pretty dang impressed for a rookie. You'll take a lot of pride in the years to come knowing that its your handy work. I don't see any flaws. Oh, one thing. Do you think a coyote might have its eyes closed when howling?

Guest AustinAggie Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: Finished my coyote!!! **PICS** I assume he is howling. Maybe you are setting him up to catch a pheasant or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
