I was curious if there is a good way to get the manes on kudu, sable and roan to stand up? All of the pictures you see of live animals have erect manes and on my mounts the manes are starting to droop a bit in spots, thanks AH

While @BRICKBURN s trick will help, the trick is to get the hair to stand is during the mounting process. Unfortunately to really get the hair to stand a long time is to thin the cape enough in that area to slightly expose the hair roots without loosing all the hair. The back neck mane is the hardest to accomplish this on.

If the hair isn’t trained during the mounting process then any after mount process will never be as successful in achieving the right look, but better than laying flat. In addition to hair products using a hot, flat iron (see your wife) is also productive.

All,

I'm trying to obtain an Australian Visa, but I was arrested over 10 years ago and the government is requesting a state police clearance letter and character declaration letter. Do I need to provide an FBI criminal record check as well?

This is the most difficult place I have ever tried to get into.

Regards,

Chris
