Yeah thats a pretty coyote.

Pretty cool

Nice doe.

This is exactly my setup. Love the DNZ one piece base.

You sure have helped me out on the whole taxidermy.

Nice yote. You know I have had a lot of talks with people on other forums about shooting a coyote with a .17hmr. Most predator hunters think it's not the right round for coyotes. I keep telling them they are crazy. I have taken several with a 17hmr. Again nice coyote and great shot.

Will this work on just deer mounts or other mounts as well?

If using this equipment while hunting during deer, elk or bear season you must be a legal big game hunter. #2. Hunting arrows and bolts must be equipped with sharpened broadheads. #3. Waterfowl may only be hunted with non-toxic shot. #4. Furbearers are defined as beaver, bobcat, coyote, fox, groundhog, mink, muskrat, nutria, opossum, river otter, raccoon, skunk, and weasel. #5. It is illegal to use centerfire firearms from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise. #6. Migratory birds, except waterfowl, may only be hunted with ammunition loaded with Number (4) or smaller shot. #7. Muzzleloading firearms are defined as those firearms which are incapable of being loaded from the breech.

But if you are hunting bobcats, fox or coyotes with a centerfire then you must be a legal licensed big game hunter and follow all safety rules for that big game season i.e orange vest and hat.

Depends on the small game.

You would have to be a legal big game hunter to use centerfire.

I use an older model Redfield 3-9x40. I am going to get me a new Redfield they are made by Leupold and you can get them for around 200 bucks. I got a friend who has one on his 308 and it's awesome.

It's not nice to swear

That's one heck of a deer ya got there!!!

I will be doing by hand with knives and fleshing tools for now. If I ever get it down and start making some money in the long distance future, then I can see me geting one.

Just wanted to say thank you all for your prayers!!!

Looks like your having a great time!

All I'm going to say is SAFETY!!!!

I probably won't be on here for a little bit. My Father in law was called to heaven last night from a house fire. I just simply ask for your prayers for my wife and mother in law.

Those fleshing machines are expensive.

Question do you use a fleshing board?

Thanks Dave. I have ordered some of the items. Waiting on my videos to come in. I'm going to watch them as much as I can before I take on a mount.

I usually give them away but I'm going to start doing some taxidermy stuff so they will be projects. Going to start tanning and do shoulder to full body mounts. I've been purchasing taxidermy tools and equipment a little at a time. All I can do is try.

I used to go with my step-dad all the time when I was younger. I have been going on and off since.
