Coyote Montage

Finally here are some pictures of my new coyote. Boy is it a stunner! I went outside to take the pictures since I thought maybe the fur would look better out there. It's taxidermy quality, soon to be mounted. I just need to take measurements on it, get a form and eyes, and I'm good to go.

It'll just be a simple shoulder mount for a school project. Just a couple of small holes to sew up behind one eye. Lovely coloration on it. The fur has five tones to it on the shoulders. The tips of the hair are black, then white, then black again, then brown, then grey at the roots. It's going to have fur that sticks up just behind the head unless I can fix that giant cowlick!

Once I trim it to size, I'll probably make the legskins into wearable ones, and use the scrap fur to make a pouch or two. I paid a bit more for it than I planned to. $65. Now I still need to buy all the supplies.
