    Home shoulder mount

    Hi all

    Is anyone on here able to tell me where to buy forms for shoulder mounts in New Zealand. I’ve watched a lot of videos and read a couple books on taxidermy and would love to give it a go but unable to find forms in this country, easy enough overseas but probably wouldn’t want to know what international shipping is like on one haha

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    These are the last 3 mounts I've done, also these are the first mounts I've done for friends. Last photo the mount hasn't had its finishing touches.

    Let me know when you've done your first one. The 24pointer is a beast (approximately 400sci) The big 8 pointer was a brute, had battle scars all over it.
