FINALLY got my '09 mount back!
« on: February 28, 2011, 08:17:00 PM »
It took a little longer than expected, but my taxidermist finally got my mount done. I already had a full body mounted fox from a few years ago, so I decided to do something a little different with this one.

Here is a "before" and "after" pic. My 6 year old son has already claimed it for his room!

That looks good Alan, my deep freezer went out with my red fox in it so instead of a pretty mount i got a pile of rotten fur.

Thanks guys, I am lucky to have a good friend who happens to be one of the best taxidermists in our area.

Preston that's a bummer about your freezer.  Hope to see you at a shoot this summer!

I saw this mount a few weeks ago at the taxidermist's shop.  The picture does not do justice.  I'd never seen a pedestal mount with a fox before this.  I love it!

Allen: I like the way the Taxidermist did a pedestal mount, very unique. Nice looking Fox, great shooting, enjoy.

Now that is very unique, well done.

I've got a red fox that lives behind my home on our 3.5 acres, and the adjacent 8 acres which altogether I hunt (about 11 acres). I have had him come into range on 2 separate occasions. Couldn't bring myself to kill him or her either time. Almost like he is part of the neighborhood or something. HA

Anyhow, your mount looks amazing. Son is a lucky guy. I'd prolly use my 20 month old's favorite word and say "Mine!".
