Rookie Mistake

« on: July 30, 2010, 08:58:13 AM »

I forgot to take measurements on a Javilina before I skinned out the head. Can I go off the skull and get a close measurement to order a Form? The head is in the freezer with all the meat and eyes.

Thanks.

The older I get, the better I was.

Don't use the skin UNLESS it's tanned. If you still have the skull, you can get a "ballpark" figure from it. From the front of the eye orbit to the tip of the top jaw + 1/2 inch or so for snout

If the truth offends you, then by all means, avoid it.

George is correct, Always after the tan. Also dont overstretch your cape before measuring it. I should have been more precise in my answer. Thanks George. Also thanks George for that post, Now I know how from the skull also, Knowing different ways is a +. Shammy
