chuck5656Changing a mounted lion's pose ??
I have an african lion I took in northern zimbabwe about 6 years ago. The taxidermist did an excellent job. I always have wished,though,that I could change his "slack jaw" a bit. I would like if his mouth was a litte more open. I have heard you can re-wet them possibly and change the pose ? I know this is playing with fire on the face,or is it ?
Any input? Thanks

Jerry HuffakerYou would have to re hydrate the entire head and re mount it. Not an easy job, it could be done but not quick or cheap.

The Artistry of WildlifeSure can be done, Guy has to know his stuff. Like Jerry said, not cheap not easy. Here is a bear with a total redo the bear was 8 years mounted.

The Artistry of WildlifeHe was. He was going to throw it in the dumpster , I found it behind his house when I made a delievry. He had moved it out of his trophy room and it was going to the dump till I told him I could redo it.

Gun Control - A theory espoused by some monumentally stupid people; who claim to believe, against all logic and common sense, that a violent predator who ignores the laws prohibiting them from robbing, raping, kidnapping, torturing and killing their fellow human beings will obey a law telling them that they cannot own a gun.

L. David KeithThose remounts are truly a lot of work and expertise is required. The end result of a job well done is worth the effort and expense.
