I now have the problem of figuring out what pose I want for my mount. So post up with some pics of what your favorite mount would be or is.
Its a good problem to have! My favorites are the semi-sneak poses with the ears back about 45 degrees to the neck, he looks like he's gonna kick another deer's :censored: ....all depends on where you are putting it in your house. I like seeing the rack from the side as opposed to straight on. Just my 2 cents I'll see if i can find a pic online....(dont have any of mine shoulder mounted :Cry: )
Ha, Clove! Congrats again on a great buck! My favorite pose is one i will probably get next. Straw in the mouth and head turned. Or head stright up doing a lip curl. I seen these at hunting shows they are awesome. Go to Vandikes taxidermist web. thats where i get ideas.eace: And get my European kits I do local euro-mounts too.
Right now I am leaning towards a wall pedestal mount. But I think I am going to wait until the deer and turkey expo in and take a look at all the different mounts and decide then.
Ha! I just checked out Vandykes. Heres a couple new types of pedistal mounts,I think a sneek would look better on one of these mounts!:noidea:
Venison in the freezer. Deer sausage: Jalapeno cheese and summer sausage. The racks/heads are nice but I'm not into having that stuff hanging on my wall. Good luck this season gents.... Ron
Hey ya might consider tha way he was going when ya shot em also where are ya gonna hang em right or left s so ya will see him in tha face when ya look at em.:biggrin1:
I've mounted about 40 or 50 deer now and here is what I like. I like an offset shoulder, which makes the deer come off the wall at an angle. Then either a semi-sneak or semi-upright. Then get the head down and lay the ears back. Makes for a sweet mount..... I'm getting ready to do one right now just like that...eace: Here is one from a couple years ago...
What do you mean "that stuff"????? Deer make some good conversation pieces, not over the dinning room table, but put in there own place like a hunting room etc...:noidea:
my fovorite one of our mounts is an 8 poit thats got a sneak mount i also like the shoulder mount on a 11 point we got ... ill see if i can find a pic
What! Is this show your wall of mounts night? Ok heres some Europien mounts of 2 of the bucks I killed in bow season 06 I like doing Euro's now they take up less space and i have very little left!:laugh:
Cool! That looks kinda like a Couse deer we have on eastern shore in va/maryland Like a dark little swamp buck!:biggrin1:
