I was helping my buddy shed hunt last month & we were lucky enough to find both shed drops from one of the biggest bucks on his place. He took them to a taxidermist & he mounted them on a plaque. The spread looks natural & is perfectly balanced. The taxidermist talked him into painting instead of staining the horns. The mount came out fantastic!
My question is, how do they do that? Is there an artificial skull cap that you can buy & then glue/screw the horns on to? Is this a common practice or a custom technique? Looks like the paint was just thinned some & rubbed on with a rough cloth, or is the paint special too?
TIA for your comments!
