Jerry how did you do those ears? would've been tough with all those splits. ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

Jerry, post that picture on your wall. That's exactly the pose I want on mine (if we ever get them back from Zim). | |||

May I ask a taxidermy question? If a client asks you to "fix" a soft bossed buffalo by building up the boss to make it look hard, is the result convincing? | |||

Yeah, I just took out my wallet, took out all of the cash I had it in, and held it up to the computer screen. I think you did well. 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express  If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||

Hey, Dan! Two Questions. 1. Have you ever had a trophy "augmented" in any way? 2. Why would you ask Jerry such a question? Rusty We Band of Brothers!

Dan, This bull was not completely hard so I had to build part of the boss. As you can see if it is done right it is very convincing. No bull leaves my shop with a soft boss.  Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

I think you have definetly gotten "the look". Is it the photo or did you add some gold/bronze color to what I believe is normaly an all black nose? "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

Yes, I could not tell if that was the original boss or if it had been enhanced, so it is very convincing. | |||
|
| One of Us |
That is just wrong, to be "convincing" suggest that the authenticity could not be argued, the hardness of the boss is either bonafide or not! | |||

RayRay, That's true in principle, but I mount everything according to the customers specifications,(sometimes whether I like it or not) and I have yet to have a customer ask to make the boss on their buffalo soft. SBT, It's just a reflection, I am not a very good photographer, and I struggle with light when taking mount pictures. Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

I wont comment on the boss, but when I opened that picture, I automaticly slid two rounds into my 470NE double!
