First is a red fox. I wanted to have a little fun with this one, so I gave her blue eyes. She took a buck shot to her throat, so I had to patch it all up with some scrap fur, but she turned out nice.







And the second one is my first ever bird mount! My uncle shot this bird and when I got it, he was missing a whole section of his wing feathers. other than that, I think its not bad for a first...birds are HARD!

you go girl looks great

holy moley. those look fantastic!!!!

Those are awesome...you sure took onto this quick. Good job

Kudos! Looks great.

Looks great!

Just curious, do any foxes have blue eyes?

yea. I actually saw a picture of a young red fox with blue eyes. But its pretty rare. Im not sure, but maybe arctic fox do?

Young red fox have grey blue to blue eyes some to grey green. I can't remember when they change over. It does however occur before adulthood.

mbowerman, the picture I got the idea from was of a young fox.
anyways, its not common at all in adults. I just wanted to try something a little different I guess.

nice job, i really like the pheasant

Just like any taxidermy project start off with a good specimen. Replacement pheasants can be bought for about $15. Finished product will looke a lot better if all there.
