I will be trying to mount a groundhog soon. Does anyone know what size eye I should get? I was thinking 11mm. Also, should I use the black hollow eyes?
Thanks
This in not in the posts. I guess no one ever mounts a groundhog.

I think they have same sized eye has a big hawk does..same color too?
depending on the size of the critter 10mm for younger 12mm for most adults. if you have not skinned the animal , check the eye intact.
the black glass looks very good in animals from mink to raccoon.
Do yourself a favor and purchase a measure rite tool from WASCO, and measure the eyes. Go with a dark brown eye. And depending on the size of the groundhog it'll be anywhere from a 9mm. to a 11mm.
