Awesome Squirrel Mounts

that`s the way i like to see them natural .

 

one from a few years ago

 

Damn! I like that!

 

Keith, I stand corrected. That IS an "awesome" squirrel mount.

 

I think that John illustrated that "awsome" squirrel mounts are just squirrels........ doing what they do!

 

Not that JB's head needs to get any bigger but the recreations of newborn squirrels were the best I've ever seen.

 

Why, thank you George!

John - I like that Mother's Day mount and the base is really neat. Keith - very nice mount as well.

Here are a couple mounts Brian Olson put together using 2 of our New Scenic Wall Plaques. Over the past 3 years, we have developed a process and specialized equipment that takes an image and embeds it directly into the surface of the wood, permanently sealing the surface so it is smooth and scratch resistant. This process maintains the high quality, detail and resolution of photo digital images that we license. What Brian did was take 2 mounts he had done many moons ago, dusted them off, touched them up, tweaked the driftwood they were on and attached to the plaques adding some snow on the Winter Scene and the leaf limb on the Autumn Scene. Brian and I thought they looked pretty nice when done, and that the scenes helped the mounts "jump", no pun intended

The 2 Mounts

 

Those plaques are a neat idea. The first one though, sort of reminds me when Wile E. Coyote would head into one of his own paintings on the side of a big boulder!

 

John B. Great mounts thanks for sharing photos of your work. Also the drinking squirrel Keith was very nice as well.

 

Agreed ... Keith showed me a picture of the mount when it was entered in a competition, and his attention to detail blew me away. I thought then as now, it is a neat, and well done mount.

 

Here are a few pic's I took this morning of the squirrel we raised and still have visiting us daily. I just walked out back and she came down to pose a bit. Taken with my phone so not real crisp photos but still good reference.

 

cute pics, thanks for sharing

 

I think you need to start by purchasing a motorized "Twirl a Squirrel" bird feeder to use for a base.
It would totally be worth it! (Can you imagine seeing this at a taxidermy competition??!!?)

edit: It's called a "Yankee Flipper" and it will set you back around $100.00 (yipes!) But I still think it would be worth it - ROTFL!!

 

I prefer wrapping parallel copper wires around my feeder. Then I use a 50 foot extension with the female end removed and the wires exposed. Wire on wire to the top stand and the other to the bottom. When I get a squirrel, I just plug him in. It seems to teach them better when it's raining but the damned circuit breaker keeps tripping.

 

HA! And they wouldn't even need cooking!
Grain-fed squirrel, ready-to-serve - just brush off the singed hair!

(jk!)

'Might be a little too sparky for me if it had leg wires, though ....

 

AWSOME ;D HOW YOU CAN TALK ABOUT AWSOME THAT LONG LOL
