I got my mount back

Unread postby magicman54494 » Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:33 am

Thanks again to The Beast and Jay Trudell. Jay offered a free mount as a prize in The Beast's annual buck contest.

I shot this buck in the mouth and didn't hold out much hope to salvage the cape. Jay took on the challenge and I can't believe how he was able to make it look so good.
This is what it looked like when I brought it to him.

This is how it looks now

Please support Jay Trudell because he is a great taxidermist and he supports The Beast!
His ad and info is at the top of the page in the rotating ads.

Good save, the mount looks great.
It's not a problem, it's a opportunity for a solution.

I got to see it 1st hand and the pictures don't do it justice... Great buck, and the mount is really good. I would of never known there was a repair to the mouth if I had not been told.

Mount looks great and the taxi did a fine job fixing it up.

Still don't have the drywall finished in the main house? To busy messing around? ;) :lol:
