Squirrel guidence

Submitted by Joe on 02/18/2003. ( ) 152.163.188.230

Where can I go to find info on mounting squirrels? I have experience in mounting WT deer so I'm assuming that alot of the steps are the same. The things that I'm unclear on are the feet and splitting those tiny lips and eyes. Do you use special mirco tools or what? Also what is involved in finishing these little critters, alot of wax work or painting?

Thanks,
Joe

From WASCO, I got it a couple of weeks ago and its very thorough. I really liked it. Ive mounted a squirrel since then and was very pleased.

Art, it's good to know someone still remembers the OLD ways, but PLEASE, don't try reinventing them. Who would EVER want to sew up a squirrel's lips in this day of great adhesives and even better foam mannikins?
