My first mount ever was a fish

 

Russ asked me the same thing. ;D

 

now andy, i have never i mean NEVER been with darrells ole lady ;D you leave me outa this one, LMAO

 

My first mount was a pigeon, my first animal was a squirrel. Looked like frankenstein! If I had it to do again, I woulkd choose a squirrel. They are most easy to obtain, and have a pretty tough skin. ;D

 

A roadkill brush tail possum.

I set about it full of gusto. Wrapped body and a carved head. The body looked ok but the head was a disaster. At least when it was finished I had it looking as it did when I found it............ like a roadkill. ;D

Yes I have done. I just do a few things differently now i know how.

Sorry - even i wasnt going to take pictures of that thing!

 

My first mount was a fox squirrel, I used the kit from WASCO and it turned out ok. I mean it looked like a squirrel, and i learned a lot to good luck.

 

Heres my first......

 

pigeon...looked like crap, but I was proud! A little later, I did this raccoon. It was DP'ed and mounted on a Touchstone paper form circa 1970. BTW, I still have the racoon...no cracking....I glued the piss out of it to that paper form...I remember having a lot of fun getting all that dextrine out of the hair!

A 1000 pound brahma bull, that 6.5 sec latter dismounted me, then kicke ,stomped,tried tokill me, ol you were talking bout taxi mounts, Deer.............. ;D

 

Jennifer ******* . Fastest mount I ever did. I think it took two or three minutes.

 

First shoulder was a whitetail, first lifesize was a bobcat.

 

squirrel,from kit. Raccoon would have been better

 

A schizophrenic looking parakeet.

 

Mink, i mounted it in 1978, still have it but it looks rough. Big mink too 23 inch nose to base of tail.

 

My first mount was a deer, a little forkhorn buck. I used a kit from Van Dyke's with one of those ugly neck forms because I thought I cut the cape too short. I thought it looked good back then, but two years later I burned it because I couldn't stand how atrocious it looked.

 

squirrel.Killed it,skinned it,and mounted it same day.One of the famous van dykes kits .(said sarcasticly)
