I want to try to do a swamp rabbit this coming season, but try skinning rabbit for mount dorsally, its pretty much the only way i can skin a chipmunk without ripping an arm off.

I think it looks great, especially for you first one. I'm too chicken to try bunnies and doves.

Very nice. Not only are the ears a nightmare, I think they are genetically programed to slip as soon as you touch them! Congrats!

How beautiful the river flows the and the birds they sing
But you and I we're messier things
They're ain't no one leavin' this world buddy
Without their shirttail dirty

There is still a blood stain on my wall from my first attempt at a Jackrabbit where I threw it..  I wish the ears on mine looked that good.  Nice job.
