Well...here's the raccoon. Not a beautiful mount but im still proud of it.
Its not completely dry yet...If I did it over I would have fixed the feet.
Not looking for a critique "YET" (ill post the finished pictures in a few days or so)....but if anything major stands out feel free to tell me!! Besides the feet of course.
I plan on putting him on a base with fall leaves to hide them better.
but over all I dont think its too shabby

Thanks guys!.
Yankee...It took me quite a few hours....maybe 4-5? The sewing took SOOO long. I tore my fingers up sewing everything. Whats nice about coons is the long fur hides the stitches well :)

heres a pic after putting him on a base....still have to do detail work on the face, but whall-ah!

Ive finished up tanning a pronghorn antelope that just needs to be mounted (thursday im thinking)....and the buck cape is still in the tan.
my doe is as good as its gunna get for now. I learned alot with that one and hope to do alot better on my next ones

hey shed, are you gonna do a natural setting with the coon; like maybe put him next to a trash can? laugh.gif

seems like that is the place i see coons gathered up the most
shedEgo
