Homemade taxidermy projects
Me and my Dad made these mounts by ourselves.
We did not make the real nice looking mount in this pic (8 ptr) That 8 was shot with a gun in 2001 by my dad. But here is a pic of all the antlers hanging in the room:
D'oh I forgot to get a pic of the 4 pt he shot, it was his first deer ever. I don't have any mounts yet, but my next red squirrel, my first yote and my first turkey and definetly my first buck will get mounted.
Enjoy the pics!!!

RE: Homemade taxidermy projects
You could get the feet off a deer that you shot (thats what we did) or you could go to your butcher and grab a few legs. Basically, you bend them in the positiong that you want them, salt them up and let them dry up. You should put something like a tie wrap or something on the feet to hold them in place. Then glue them onto the board, staint the board, then hang your gun/bow on it. Good Luck!!1
