Nickel Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Here are my moms and my 2008 Euro mounts we had done on those fake skull plates. The taxidermist said that they last better and longer than real skulls. I personally like the real skulls better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I think your taxidermist wanted to do it the easy way:rolleyes:.I would have told him the real skull or I would go to a different taxidermist. jmo;) they still look nice:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Those skull plates are only used when replacing old euro mounts or to install sheds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kels Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I agree, sounds like your taxidermist was just being lazy. Unless the skulls were damaged, He should have use the real thing. Still looks nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardwood_HD Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 they do look nice, i would rather have the real thing too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 They look nice, but I love the real skulls. I've been doing skulls for 4 years now and it never gets old. They are always fun to do and they look great. I agree on the lazy taxidermist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambo Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 From your pictures the antlers and skulls look great. However, in person I have always prefered the look of real skulls over the look of the artificial skull. You just can't beat mother nature.
