I started dabbling in some deer taxidermy about 2 years ago. Got my license and have done a few deer for folks. They all seem to be happy with my hobby so far. In 2022, I shot a good buck at the Red Top Mtn quota hunt. I’ve been wanting to mount it and I’m just now getting started on it. I thought I would document my progress here and let everyone see how it goes. I will add pictures along the way. I will also include some pictures of the deer I have mounted for others. Let me know your thoughts!

Looking good nice buck too
 
I'd be interested to see how much time it takes to do one. And the waiting process in between from start to finish.
Need a form, eyes, ear liners and prepare the cape. Put it all together and do some airbrush work. I have never understood why it takes a year or more to get one back.Must have a lot in front of you to be done
 
I took the caped hide out the freezer Sunday (Feb 16) after church. I was able to start working it yesterday (Feb 19) and now I have it salted and hanging.
