Well, I just mounted my first antelope. Wow, they're trickier than I thought. It turned out awesome! Way better than I expected it to. The only problem is that there is some slippage in a few places. Nothing too major and normal from what I've found out. My question is there something I should be doing to make it dry out faster and tighten it up to stop the slippage? I've had the fan going on it since I finished it. Any tips from the pros? Thanks.

im no pro by any means, but i dont think you will loose any more hair as long as you leave it alone, and dont mess with it. a fan would be a good idea to dry it faster, but i dont think it is absoultly nessary.
good luck!

And I'd bet it wasn't slippage anyway. Sped goats have their hair affixed to the top epidermal layer of skin and simply by grabbing a live prong, you can pull a bald spot. Just don't touch it anymore and when it dries, it'll be fine.
Thanks guys! That helps.
