Skin Mount vs Replica? - 02/22/02 01:10 PM
No, I didn't do a search to see what the archives had on this subject. Thought I'd waste some more of Bob's server HD space.
Let's say you get that State Record Steelhead (hatchery of course), Fish of Lifetime. 53 pound hatchery fish, all perfect fins except the missing adipose fin, caught out of the Cantellya River.
Time to get it on the wall.
Do you get a skin mount or replica? What is better and why?
Bardo - you seem to actually go out and get fish, yet still have replicas made. Please explain to us why. Don't the replicat's just kinda "look fake"?
Do mounts wear out, look nasty, or what?
Just curious, that's all. I don't have any fish on my walls, so I don't know the answers to those quesitons.
Let's hear what you all think!
Also, for those with cameras, and scanners, if you've got replicas or mounts, take a peekture and post them on this thread. I'd like to see whats on your walls. Or, show us the handy work of your replicas!
Ok Bardo, let's see some of those bad boys!
