My taxidermist sent me a pic of my black coyote I caught last year today, so gotta go pick it up and try to find somewhere in the house to hang it. I'm pleased with the way it came out

Very nice!

Nice job

That's a nice one. The wife and I saw one that was black as night up at Kinzu this past summer. The thing was huge, looked like the size of a small German Shepard. I love the rocks also the taxi did a nice job. Mind telling how much? Just ballpark.

cool! Very nice and pretty coyote

What's the deal with the splotchy, uneven hair? Was it killed late winter/early spring?
Don't get me wrong. Other than the bad hair day, the mount looks very lifelike.

Finster,He charged $500 then I bought the base seperate and it was $130, so I got around $630 in it. As long as the wife don't find out I'll be ok. She might expect a new dress or something

Yea I caught him in March

Nice

Sorry

Are you a taxidermist bucksnbears? This is about the 3rd or 4th time someone has posted a picture of their critter they are proud of and had mounted that you have on.

No I'm not.
But I AM a taxidermy snob and say it like it is

if it makes you feel better

I love the color of that coyote!
If you’re happy then that’s all that matters. I do think the taxidermist most likely altered the form and ruined the anatomy of the coyote. Also coyotes don’t hold their tail curled up like that.

I'm also a taxidermy snob, lol. I've had 2 things mounted in my life, a coon head, and a full mink mount and was not happy with either, which is why I don't reckon to get anything else mounted. People that know how to do taxidermy charge over $600 for a mount, and to pay that it would need to be a spectacular critter for me... anything else you get a mount like this, or worse.... and I've seen a LOT worse. This one looks okay, except the tail is ALL wrong, and from the front shoulders to the ears as well. The nose is a bit long, but not bad.. it's just the other things that make it look a bit out of whack. Overall a decent mount, but not top quality.

Nice mount!

Nice mount. Don't listen to the "experts."

Good looking coyote. I like it.

Nice mount RM. I sense some jealousy on here. If your proud of it, that's all that matters. That's a white whale to a lot of people. I would have had it mounted also!
