Pronghorn mounts

[Rogue Bay]

Seeing all of the great bucks on the Meat Pole thread has me dreaming, and I think pronghorn make some of the most beautiful mounts. I’d really like to see any pronghorn mounts you all have!

First one is a buddies that my taxidermist did and I had at my house until he could pick it up.
Pedestal is my wife's spot and stalk archery goat. Here dad built the pedestal.

My goat is just a plain ole shoulder nothing special so no pictures.

Those are both great mounts! It’s amazing how many more form choices there are these days. Pronghorn are all so unique that there’s no such thing as a plain ole shoulder mount .

Thanks for sharing!

Also curious as to whether or not these are any more difficult to cape/preserve than a whitetail. Wife and I leave in 2 weeks for Wyoming

Here is my only taxidermy mount.

Just take care to keep as much blood of the cape as possible. Their hair is hollow and absorbs the blood.

Keep blood off of them and DON'T GRAB THE HAIR to lift or move the animal. The hair pulls our very easy and in clumps. Move them by the horns or the legs...try not to drag.

Thanks for the advice. Hoping I get to put it into practice

Agree with the sensitivity of the lightweight and brittle hair; not overly so but no dragging or grasping for sure.

Having last years buck made in a mirror image of this, for either side of my credenza.

That’s a dandy! Very nice mount too.

I really like that mount. I have a pronghorn at the taxidermist’s right now and that is exactly the pose I’m having done. Great buck too!

That’s a great mount! Is that an Oregon buck?

That’s going to look really cool! Please post pics when you get it back!

Some nice mounts. Be sure to keep them out of direct sunlight. The colors in their hair tends to fade much quicker than most animals.

This is my only one.

I really like those wall pedestals. Great mount and a great buck!
