Default RE: Got my mount back from 1-17-09

you could always get him redone... sometimes you get burned. I had a trophy black bear I shot back in 2002 get hacked by the taxi.. He was on his death bead and I couldn't bring myself to make a stink over it. He only lived a couple of months longer, so I am glad I didn't make a fuss then.
Having said that, he took 325# bear and used a form that may have fit a 250lb bear... I had to bring it to another taxi who was able to soak the head, pop the stitches, and build up the size of the form head w/ clay. Now it looks 100% better.
At least with a deer they can just pull the horns, get you a new cape, and move on...
