Suggestions for a squirrel mount?

[esshup]

I have this idea of having 4 different squirrels mounted, 1 Fox, 1 Grey, 1 Piney and 1 Black (color varient of the grey). Any suggestions on how to pose them?

Also, since I think it might take me a year to collect all 4 of them, should I have the Taxi prep the hide of any that I collect first, rather than store them in the freezer for a year?

How about a Battle Royal complete with headlocks and piledrivers? Now that would be a conversation piece.

here's a couple of my favorite poses. These are mounted on forms from Coombs that were sculpted by Darin Flynn. Best forms for squirrels in my opinion. Be sure that whoever you have mnt. them stays away from Ellzey forms. These forms are popular with some suppliers for some reason. They tend to run way out of proportion with huge heads and skinny bodies. Absolute junk. as far as freezing until you get all of them, I would recommend not waiting as squirrels tend to dry out really bad in their toes and ears. Get them to your taxi. as soon as possible.


Mckenzie's own forms are also pretty decent.

What does a typical squirrel mount run? Just a all park figure is what I'm looking for.

Thanks

I've seen some from $75 that wouldn't even make good target practice. If you want a quality product expect to pay around $300.00 or so.
