"Butting Billy" Catalina Shoulder Pedestal taxidermy Mount

[gizmo]

So this billy came off the Rockin G and I had the opportunity to get to hunt with @YancyW . It was a great hunt and Yancy is an awesome dude! Anyway, he gave me artistic license with this billy, who around the office we have dubbed "Catalina Jo-Lee". I do a few different custom sculpted poses for Catalina's on wall pedestals. This one is "Butting Billy". Also if you look close we sculpted in the teeth on the bottom jaw with a very subtle open mouth. It was a ton of fun getting to do this mount and thank you for letting me run with it Yancy!

The little bit of spit on the mouth really makes the piece alive.

Looks good. How do you get the goat smell out? I always want to know what others taxidermists do in this regard.

If they are tanned properly there is little smell. I air out the capes to rid the remainder and use an oder neutralizer.
