Got my mounts back!
« on: May 27, 2008, 06:40:00 PM »
My taxidermist finally got my javelina mount done.  It took him over a year, but good things are worth waiting for.  He felt bad that it took so long, so he bumped my deer that I shot at the end of December to the front of the "line."  I got two animals in one trip.  My office wall is starting to get a bit crowded...  I can't wait to see the look on my wife's face when she gets home from work tonight!

I think that javi would go good in your bedroom.  Both look nice.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

They are NICE! look great. Gotta love both of them but that javie mount looks sharp!

Tip though: take a butter knife and run around the deer between the mount and the wall and it will tuck that hair down making a sharper edge.

"..tuck that hair down making a sharper edge."

And I flared mine out a-purpose!!  :eek:  

Exceptional animals, and a great job preserving them. Yup, javie over the bed...I wish I could see her face when she comes home too!

Man, you sure are lucky if you can get away with that Javelina!  My wife is pretty easy going, but when I announced I was having my 250lb. hog done she read me the riot act.   :knothead:   BTW: beautiful mounts...your taxi did a great job.

I tried the butter knife technique, and it does look better.  Thanks for the idea!

Very nice. I have a hog but would love a javelina. Great looking mounts.
