What else do I need to mount my first deer besides this kit and a video or book?

Any Advice for a beginner?

Shooting a wall hanger each year gets expensive lol. I have one at the taxidermist and was wanting to learn how to myself. I have a great background in fur/hide handling due to trapping and skinning.

Lots of reference material. Check out taxidermy.net-they have alot of tutorials for helping folks. mounting a critter isnt rocket science, but it does take some time and pay attention to detail. Just like trapping, you have to have fun doing it or it becomes work! When i was mounting critters, only work 1-2 hours on it so you dont get burnt out or lose interest.
