That's a noticeable difference, looks great now.

Very nice mount, who did the remount?

[Mac]

Not possible to use the same cape.

That's a great illustration of good taxidermy vs poor work. Way to go.

Why is it not possible? And I agree it's a much better mount the second time around

My buddy here in Mississippi did the remount. Thought he did a good job considering this was his first axis to mount.

Once it's dried onto the form and the nose, lips and eyes have been epoxied and painted it will have to be torn apart to get the horn out of the mount. Much less get the entire hide off the form and rehydrated to be able to put on a new form. Not to mention all the glue between the hide and form, the clay in the ear butt and eye and fiberglass in the ears and horn base. That's the short and dirty of it.

Not trying to hijack, but can the ears be repositioned once a mount is complete?

If the mount is freshly done there is a chance they can be soaked and moved slightly. If it's completely dry I can't think of a way they could be adjusted.

Looks wayyyyy better

Yes, I have redone earbutts on several mounts.

[oneforthewall]

I like the black nose.

LMBO! Yeah me too, I don't even keep black paint in my shop!

[arrowsonly88]

Huge difference. Did a great job!

Thanks for the explanation, I was going to ask the same question.
