This year I think I'm going to give taxidermy a shot, I'm gonna mount a doe. If I get a buck that's going to someone that knows what they're doing haha Anyways, does anyone here mount their own deer? Should I buy one of these kits from Mckenzie? http://www.mckenziesp.com/105000-P14454C5618.aspx
I've never done it myself, but I prefer McKenzie forms. Don't think you can go wrong getting stuff from them.

I've helped my buddy do it a few times. Its not that hard, But it is tedious. Fletching the hyde can take some time if you don't have a power fletcher. The eyes and mouth seem to be the hard part. Good luck.
I've mounted one or two, if you run into any problems get ahold of me I be more than happy to answer any questions. Also if you live near Holmes county millersburg to be exact there is a supply house there.
