Anyone who knows Brezina knows what a baby cry he is. He's been busitng my chops to mount his stupid cull buck but everytime I'm ready he's says he can't come over but he wants to take pics of it. You know he likes to take pics. So I was fed up when he decided to go to the beach today instead of mount his stupid deer so i did it for him in pics. Be patient as I'll try to explain a little taxidermy as I go.
1) First pic, form prepped, antlers set ready for skin

2) A comparsion of these coastal deer ears and the normal S Tx ear. As you can see they are smaller and even the pic doesn't show the true difference. These small features will later cause other issues

3) Eyes put in form

4) size of clay roll needed for ear butt

5 ) mold 90% of ear butt while on table. This will save problems later. Mold them in position if you know what you want them to look like already

6) inverts ear skin, add hide paste

7) turn back right side out and stack wrinkles in front of ear using hide paste and skin

8) add paste to form to ease sliding on skin. Put only in areas you won't be able to reach later. The less you use now the less chance of getting it everywhere

9) skin goes on. Keep it lined up going on

Stay tuned for past 2 and 3 !!!
