This gar can either be sat on a table or hung on the wall, he's got a half inch piece of ply wood in the back covered by the leather so all you would have to do is screw a hanger on him and he's good to go to be shown off just like a shoulder mount. As far as I know I'm about the only taxidermist in the hill country maybe even the state that has the equipment to freeze dry and mount one like this. Glad to hear y'all like the looks of it, I've got a lot more interesting stuff in the machine right now like a barracuda head and an open mouth rattle snake.

Nice! I see a Halloween costume in the making.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

is freeze drying better than traditional taxidermy? In many aspects yes, for velvet antlers, alligator and gar heads, and different types of small game. In my opinion you get a much more natural look by freeze drying

could you do like a 1/4 lifesize mount?
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

On a Gar? I could defiantly do that, it would be an interesting project but I think I could make it look pretty good.

Thanks, now I will never swim in a lake again.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.
