water buffalo eyes

Submitted by GK on 02/22/2003. ( ) 209.177.69.55

This is a great site and I spend many hours here each week. Keep up the good work.
I am a hobbyist that took a $10. J Elwood home course 40+ years ago. At that time I mounted about 15-20 pieces and realized that as slow as I was I would starve as a taxidermist, even if I ate the parts that I didn"t use in the mounts.
Now that I am retired I am getting back into it for my own projects.

I am about to order forms for an Australian water buffalo and Rusa deer and my catalogues don"t recommend and eye color. Would an antelope eye of the proper size be right for these animals? Also are there ear forms available for these animals? Would a cape buff ear form be a close fit for the water buff? Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks in advance GK

Nothing's changed. You'll still starve being a taxidermist. Scroll up to the "Suppliers" link above and then find Tohickon. Call them and ask about the sizes and colors of the specific animals. They have it all.


got pic's if you want!
