Jackal head

[www.yorkshireroestalking.]

Emailed today to say my european jackal mount is on route.
Hope it looks and travels well.
will post pic when i get it.
a little nervous, but i thought it better done by people who do them all the time then have it done here.
we will see eh?
looking at alot of the work on here there are some very skilled uk taxidermists.
hope it doesnt look like that munjac which was posted some time ago.

Well its not the quality of some of the work on here and i'm a little disapointed but its not bad (i think)
looks better from accross the room. The details are a little poor as is its expression.
Guess we are spoilt by some of these boys in the uk.

It looks good enough just) to remind me of a good hunt abroad in the company of friends shooting stuff not available over here. And it fell to my double rifle.

Still not a great example though.
Anyway it will remind me of the last hunt in bulgaria weeman.

It's not that bad mate, better looking than a weeman head on the wall! Ifyou're really unhappy with it could it be re-mounted by someone over here? Or is it a case of, once it's mounted it's done?

There was one shot on that drive...... and it put a big hole in that jackel

You should be able to get the cape taken off of it and remounted.

Is that possible???

I know the Spanish taxidermists do it.
A spanish friend of mine had a lesser kudu redone 5 times until he was happy with the head positioning and finer details.
The problem you'll find is that if you put an "interestingly" mounted head in the same room as a good bit of taxidermy, they look even worse. I can't display my 5 point muntjac, fallow etc. as i have an amazing Balearic Boc, and it makes them look like teddy bears!

It is possible to remount it, providing they have tanned the hide correctly. However it is always a risk de mounting a mount as you never know what they have used to glue the skin to the manakin with, and what tan they have used. But there are taxidermists who would take it on I am sure, but as I say its a risk.

I know Gary certainly does renovation work as he was doing a Warthog whilst I was there last week. Be worth a call!

[sws]

So are you going to get someone to try to remount it for you?
