[Jacob-list] mounting Jacob heads

[Robin Lynde]

My daughter took a taxidermy class offered by her high school ag teacher for 
3 years. She mounted a Jacob ram lamb head  (about 8 months) for me the 
first year. I'll ask her what she did, but I think she said that since there 
was no correct form in the catalogues she started with a pronghorn antelope 
head. She had to shave some parts and add to others to make it work. It 
looks very good, whatever she did. She also said that she'd never do 
another!
