John B TaxidermyCool little mount.

Not a big fan of those Hendricks mannikins, though.

Question ... why did you give the Jackal slit pupils?

They're pupils are round, like Coyote, not slit like Fox ...
I've seen this mistake made before, and I can't understand why. All anyone has to do is look at photos of live Jackal and there's no problems ... it's obvious.

The wrong eyes can ruin the look of an otherwise nice mount.

MOA TACTICALI really like this mount, I think your base work is good as well.
I didn't realize the issue with the eyes until I read what someone else had wrote, but it happens.
I missed one in Namibia as well. They are wonderful little canids.
I would have used a belt sander to flush up the base to the plywood.
You might consider using some kind of colored paint with sand in it to cover up the plywood.

bo-n-aroI think the eyes pupils in the mount are and that the clare makes them look like slits....

Hope you have a great hunt/vacation.
