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.

The deer was done by a friend who does great work. He also did the Blesbok/Impala. All the materials are available through normal taxidermy suppliers. I’m just the idea guy!

The deer was done by a guy in CO (Here). Very happy with his work. He really wanted to do a shoulder on this unique Muley but I just wanted a euro or something less expensive. He had another euro with the rocks and I really liked it. The snow and ice are to remind me how cold it was! Shot him right where I grew up so it was a special hunt opportunity.

I’m a huge fan of the wall pedestals. 3 of my 7 whitetail mounts are WP mounts and I feel like they look the best out of all of them. Top two are McKenzie 6900 series and the bottom is a Mears

Here is my latest. But I prefer a pedestal over this type of form

if I ever get another nice buck I will go with the pedestal mount, they look nice.
