Your shoulder mounts

[Doepee]

I agree with robinhood - I prefer the pedestal style wall mounts and if you have room a true pedestal. i just finished this one up:

That's a beautiful setup you have.
I don't have room for a floor pedestal but I do have room, and I'm leaning towards a wall pedestal

Wow, your buck under the vent has amazing mass. That's what I think makes mine worth shoulder mounting. Great mount
I agree. If I do a shouler mount then a wall pedestal is the way I'm leaning. Just gotta figure out if I want left or right facing and if I want sneak or upright. Yours look great
What did your taxidermist do on the backsides of your mount? Not where it mounts to the wall but the small curved area where you can see in between the wall and the mount?

Your deer is great, definitely get that thing on the wall! I think he used that rustoleum stone texture spray. It’s nothing special, but you really can’t even see it anyway.

For mounts that have some meaning to me I like to have some extra added to the display. Something that reminds you of the day. Those green moss stones and some leaves and pine branches.

PRM: would love to see a write up on how you are doing these! They look fantastic

Funny, the two bucks you have on the lower right hand corner next to the cabinet are the two poses that I'm thinking about. Very nice

Here is a couple close up pictures of how I mounted them. We just got that barrel, and I took a piece of landscape timber and attached it to the drum. Top deer is just a regular deer, and the bottom is a full turn. I wanted you to see what the back of that full turn looked like.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
