Whats your favorite animal to mount and why?
Ill start.
My is turkeys and whitetail. Because those are the big two in my area. I would say 85% of my business is whitetail and turkeys.

Actually I think my favorite is fish, guess thats my best also as I have won more in comp with fish, but the majority of my work is whitetail deer, love mounting them just hate the fleshing and prep work.

I enjoy the small mammals that I can play with in the freeze dryer. My bigger money maker is starting to become Pets

I like red foxes. they are the only type we have here. They just seem to work for me. Boars account for 80% of my customers ,although, i am starting to loathe doing them.
I have imported and am mounting my first coyote and hope to get a grey fox and a coon one day. These 'exotics' keep me interested i think.

I love doing bobcats, but any life size animal is fun. I love to get the position just right and then make the habitats.
