Tanned coyote is home!

Debated on this thread or the dead deer wall thread. Figured I would go this direction with it. I picked up my tanned coyote from Whitetail Specialties tonight. He is one of our TOO guys and a great guy to deal with. I was impressed with the work. Not much else to add other than here it is. Pictures will be the coyote hanging, a closer view of the head, close view of a paw, and how it is on display. Hopefully the display remains in tact. Momma hasn't been downstairs to see it yet. She has a "one dead animal in the living room at a time" rule. I think this is going to fly though. Deer mount, coyote beneath with some sheds on top of it. Seems classy to me? I dunno.

Looks good Phil. If she don't like it there then I suggest laying it on her when she is asleep :smiley_crocodile:

Funny. I figured you would tell me to lay a mushroom tattoo on her forehead while she was asleep? You must be slipping in your old age. :smiley_crocodile:

Nice Phil, great addition to your trophy room, next is a Turkey in full strut!

Thanks Aaron. Not even going to try this one though. First step: Find a turkey. Second step: Actually kill the turkey. Third step: Figure out the game plan on where the heck to put him. Leaning towards spreading out the tail feathers on a flat board or display with the beard and spurs attached somehow. Place it in the office in the basement.

I will focus on achieving steps one and two before i worry about where I will put it though. haha

Thanks to everyone for the compliments.

Next question: Whitetail Specialties told me I would be able to have this mounted at a later date the way he skinned it out and had it tanned. He also told me I could cut it and lay it out flat or mount it to the wall spread out. I am thinking about slicing it right up the belly so it spreads out flat across the armoire. Thoughts? Leave it in tact and the way it is? Or. . . .slice it up the belly and lay it flat on here? Would display sheds better that way in my opinion. I also need to find some better sheds to display. I just grabbed a handful which were laying in my office next to the printer. Didn't really dig around for the biggest ones.

i like that one Hoyt!
