Aoudad shoulder mounts
Last week's Aoudad is at the taxidermist and I I picked up the upright slight head turned pose.

He is about a year out from cracking into him.

Is there a better aoudad form that show cases the mane on the legs?

Just looking at that mount I would say yes there is a better form out there. There is a form which incorporates about 8 inches of the front legs, which captures all of the chaps. Some forms may be proprietary?? PM me if you like and I will share what I know.

I think my Aoudad was mounted on the form you are talking about, that displays all of the chaps, and IIRC my taxidermist chose it from a catalogue. So, I believe it is a commercial form. FWIW, mine is a wall pedestal.

McKenzies wall pedestals look the best. Jetz also makes forms with the leg extensions to keep the chaps.

My brother has a lot of examples on his page. Most of them are on McKenzies forms.

it is called a half life size

Half life size includes the entire front leg. The form we are talking about does not include the lower leg. It stops above the knee, but captures the entire chap. Also less expensive than half life size.

I had mine mounted on the half life size form.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
