Below I have  a picture of the same deer exactly one month prior before he busted up his rack.

My father did the mount and plaque, after I fleshed the skull.

I did the skull mount myself, but my stand was bought through my taxidermist friend.

Here are mine. I did the deer myself (a lot if work) and the bear was done by a taxiderist.  The smaller deer fell off the wall the other day and broke some of the nose bone off.   :mad:   Oh well, I guess that's what glue is for.

Is that just bronze paint on that one bear skull?  Looks pretty neat.

Small 3x3 Mulie taken on Public land in Eastern WA in 09 using a Morrison Shanee/Dakota 56# 60" GT5575's and 135 gn No Mercy S/B broadheads.. both this and the bear above were done by a young friend whom I hunt with who's becoming quite a good full time taxadermist  (http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx177/BrokenArrow-03/DSCF0002.jpg)st

Yes it's a special bronze paint, it cost about $50.00 more after the skull is cleaned and bleached. It's actually a very large Javelina skull.

Post by: twitchstick on March 01, 2011, 02:22:00 PM

Here is a bear I shoot 2 year's ago. It is one of the few I have ever done any type of mounting to. Most I have just let mother nature take it's course. (http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/barebow13/IMG_0292.jpg)

Title: Re: Skulls
Post by: twitchstick on March 01, 2011, 02:26:00 PM

Growing up my family wasn't much on mounting animal it has only been the last few years that I have been trying to save some for memorys. Most of my stuff ends up out in the bone yard. (http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/barebow13/IMG_0294-1.jpg)

Here are a couple of my traditional archery killed skulls.  What is surprising to me is the relative size of the coyote and the 155lb, P&Y lion.  I glued the broadhead in the coyote skull, though as you can imagine it penetrated further than shown.

C-R, if you will notice in the pic of my mount, it has the "bugle" teeth (or whatever you want call them). My taxidermist friend says he sees about 1 or 2 deer a year with them (out of around 100 that he capes out. They are just a genetic defect, but probably happen more than we realize, because not all of us look that closely to every deer that we shoot.
