Default Squirrel Mounting

I have this project in English I gotta do about my passion. For my passion I did hunting, so I decided I would do taxidermy for a project. I see that I can get a mounting kit on Cabelas for $18. I was wondering how hard it would be to mount a squirrel. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect.

it's not really all that hard , just time consuming. I would get two kits,so you can pratice on one and then the other for the project.
just be careful around the head and face.the whiskers are the main thing to watch for , or you will cut them off under the skin.

You need to make sure you have the right size form. There are several companys that you can order from.They allhave kits, too.I'm an amature but I have found that the squirrel climbing down is easier to mount than a squirrel eating a nut.
