Well I am goin to the worlds this week and wanted some of you to let me know what i am up against. I am 14 years old and am entering the youth division. I am entering my badger and raccoon. Tell me what you think as i have no idea what i am up against. On the raccoon, the hair was really thin on the neck area do to rubbing just to let you know so you dont think there is no fur there or something.I think you will have to copy and paste the link so if you could i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Matt, I didn't even have to look at your mounts to be able to tell you that you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Don't worry about what may be wrong with your mounts. Just think about what you will be able to learn from your mounts and all the others there. You learn more from your mistakes than you ever will from something that you get right by accident. Learn and have fun.
it works but it needs a password to get in.

it will work if you just copy and paste the address without the [IMG] brackets.
That badger looks better then about 85% of the crap on eBay. GOOD JOB! The ears are set a little too low (one higher then the other) and the eyes are a little too circular and wide (did you scare him?) but the "grin" is cute, and the overall presentation is excellent. Once you've won *something* at world... which you should... make sure to swag a bit - this is quite a pretty one!
Im only 13 but I think they look great!Good luch a the "worlds"
The base on the coon is real cool! Looks very natural. Bring us home a ribbon! But like the others said, nothin to lose. The World Show should be a great experience
I am No expert. In fact I am a 15 year old beginner. and Only have 1 show under my belt. I am not known for my tact. As my foster father is on me about it all the time. so take this for what it is worth. Although decent overall I find the Mouth of the badger unnatural In appearance. His eyes are too round and bright. and his ears are set to high. The Raccoon Is kind of far away for a good assessment. but his ears are not correct either. One is lower than the other, and they are shaped differently. At least that is how I see things from the PICS. Let me know what the judges say. As It would help me as much as it does you.
