Form for eland mount
What brand of form do you like using for an eland shoulder or neck mount?

The reason I'm asking is that I have seen some that when done make them look like dairy cow! I'm trying to avoid a mistake.

thx, 405wcf

Let me preface this by saying that, NONE of the Eland forms will fit. They are just a starting point, Eland bulls are all different, heads, dewlaps, neck size all different, you have to do a lot of carving, cutting and sculpting to get them to fit. You can't just buy and form and throw the skin on it like a deer. With that said here are two that I like, the first one is a Mckenzie, the second is a Van Dykes sculpted by Don Holt.
