[JNDEER]

Great stuff Ed... You hunting right out your back door?

 

[BOWUNTR]

That's my backyard... There's only big mule deer and javalina back there. I have to drive 45 minutes for coues... kinda bummed about that!!! Ed F

 

[bearclaw]

Heck yeah amigo! That is one good looking fella in the first pic!

That javelina is awesome too! Now I want a wall pedestal Javi!

Those are bad ass Ed!

I'm curious about the cut up foam. Do you have to do that to the form to get it exactly how you want it?

Ed doesn't have to cut anything...he just lets his beard do all the work!

 

[BOWUNTR]

Well.... Bearclaw picked out a pose and I could only find one form that was close. The dimensions were a little big for his cape, so I broke out the chainsaw and went to work. I was taught by a great taxidermist who told me from the get go that you never let the form dictate the mount. The reason for cutting it in pieces is to take out the foam from the middle so that it keeps its anatomical detail on the outside. It looks like a lot of work but it's actually not. Ed F

Damn Ed. You are a quick learner. I always admired the work on your fishing rods. This is no different.

 

[JNDEER]

45 minutes!! Lucky, lucky man.

Great work on the mounts Ed.

 

[hatchet1]

I had that buck in my freezer for awile...glad he made it and that Lloyd did not tear into him....looking good amigo!

 

[popx5]

Great work buddy... someday when I build the man cave, I will go on a mission to fill it with shit I kill and you mount.
