Not bad for a first mount BigHunt. Are you going to try a deer head next?

Great first mount. Work on the eyes a little. With all mounts where you see alot of differences is in the eyes and how they are set. Deer are especially noticeable being too far in or out. :clap: :dance: 8-)

Looks like your squirrel needs some stealth strips.

And a few beers!! :P

Just joking around!! :lol: Looks really good for your first try. I have always wanted to try taxidermy. It would be fun to do my own stuff in the offseason.

good for a 1st i would say...

you guys squirells look different then ours out east.... everything light brown on yours in white on ours.

I saw an endangered delmarva fox squirell last weekend. I see why they are almost extinct. Dumb, big, clumsy and slow from what I seen.

Also, about squirells... Ive always wanted one of these mounted.

They are ALL OVER washington DC, you will see them every single time you go into the city... but Ive never seen or heard of 1 in the woods?

Kinda weird, and funny.... because of where they live.
