Very first taxidermy mount (Coyote)|Gamehead and Lifesize Mammals|Forum|Taxidermy Talk

This was my very first taxidermy project I ever did… He took me about 5 hours to finish the head 😮 But I think he turned out awesome for a first mount. I did research for about a year before i decided to mount this guy, evreyone said not to do a coyote for a first head because they can be tough even for an experienced taxidermist, but I was determined to mount a yote!

He does have some issues the form had to go through alot of alterations since the head was a weird size, and the lip line was no where near far enough, so the lip is a bit wonky also the eyes are a bit wonky as-well but at least it resembles a coyote! I wait anxiously for a week so I can take the facial pins out and put the finishing touches (pain the inner ears and eye lids) and get a good look at my finished mount!
