How many musk ox have you done?

None so far in my own shop. But they aren't any different than sheep or goat etc. making a mold of horned game is the same whether it's a kudu, a mountain goat or a buffalo.
I do a lot of major mold making . I'm my area where I live I just get undercut by the larger shops.

I believe when you do your first musk ox you will find it is different than sheep and goat. I was under the same impression but multiple taxidermists who have done hundreds and one who has done thousands back to his father have shown me different.

I've never done any in my own shop for my own customers.
I've done 2-3 musk ox horns in other shops not working for myself. They aren't much different than a sheep or goat. A sheep is much more complex than a musk ox
