; this place doesn't get traffic anymore.First of all if that is your first try Quack; to me they look great!
Of course I can't see in a simple photo what I would see up close in person. But, you already know what probably looks right on them and what doesn't because you said you learned a lot and this was just your first try.
This adds a whole new dimension to your hunting. As outdoorsmen, if we do alot ourselves it just adds another level of satisfaction. This takes your hunting to another dimension.
Not just anybody can do taxidermy; and do it well. And for you to have the curiosity and werewithall to try it I say congratulations.
Last couple years I tanned hair on the hides on several whitetails I killed and have some in my office and in my trophy room. I found out alot about myself when I did it. Alot of people were impressed with the outcome including me. I also found out, it was a tremendous amount of hard work. I don't think I have the patience and attention to detail to do any kind of head or body mount on any animal, but tanning hides I can.
It quickly gave me an understanding as well on why a good taxidermist charges what they charge for their product.
Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!
