well today i slipped away from college packing and everything and picked up the squirrel mount. i dropped it off in febuary of 2003..im sure you all remember my posts about it.....finally done!
all in all i cant complain. he freeze dried it. the mount doesnt look horrible....i dont like the head..it looks a little akward..and i can see his stitching where i guess he gutted it? but its not visible from the wall, and can be covered up better. here is a few pics i took real quick....
any ideas on why he is brown not white like a typical grey squirrel?? im thinking maybe it was hybrid of a fox and grey squirrel. theres a strong population of both where i killed it. or just a color variation?? ive never seen another like it and killed a ton of them. dad killed 1000s of them and said get it mounted he never seen one like that....
the pics look kinda funny he is about a foot or 2 higher then i am.....but you get the idea....i guess the head just looks a little wierd is because of the position of him about to eat his acorn. all in all cant complain for 135$...the 2.5yr wait was a bit rediculous though..
