@NYmosVids shoulder and hoof gun rack possible but 1st thing 1st a taxidermist wont take a whole deer but would love it cape out first so bring it to a meat specialist. About the coat i had seen so far a vest that was made but a coat you would have to tag a deer again cause that just the one deer can make a coat you wont have enough for three project with it so just look around in you city for taxidermist or will say send it to a tanning shop it goes like this sholder and hoof or coat a hoof

I noticed you have cut all the eye sockets off the skull. Did you measure the width of the skull first. How do you know how wide the head on the mannikin should be? Is it no longer important to get these measurements now? Have these mannikins become magical, any skin will now fit? Head width and age is no longer a factor?

I am 22 and looking to go to taxidermy school after college. Mainly bc all the studios here wont hire, do you feel this is a good ideal or is it a waste, it about 4-5000 dollars?

@mountainman1103 I would say maybe try to find an cheaper school yet if you have the money i say go for it , i mean , taxidermy been more and more used by artist and even made into clothing , im sure you can have an decent bussiness if you truly put effort on it :)

@ohmygodyoutub3 i hunt but only for fresh meat instead if the nasty store bought stuff. :P but yeah i think taxidermy is an art aswell. some of the animals die of natural causes aswell.
