Your shoulder mounts

[West.mass.hunter]

As I said earlier, personally I much prefer the aesthetic of euros. I’ve contemplated getting reproduction skulls for the shoulder mounted deer. They take up too much walll space. I’ve got a bunch of trophies in the garage simply because I don’t have the room for them in here.

I really like to poses on your bottom two buck, semi sneak correct? My eyes naturally gravitate to the euros though. All very nice bucks

That's a hell of a trophy room. Can't imagine what that trip/trips cost let alone the taxidermy bill

Whatever you do, make sure you find a good taxidermist…
I use Zimmermans Wildlife studio in Martinsburg Pa and they are the best that I have seen. They run $950 for a deer shoulder mount.
Remember you will be looking at that deer for the rest of your life, so find a good taxidermist.
Once you find a good one, ask for a Mckenzie catalog and look at different forms to see what you like.

Thanks! It cost lots of chores and a significant amount of jewelry…

I am starting to really like the wall pedestal mount. I told my taxidermist to surprise me one year and he did the pedestal. Different pose than you normally see.

Mears forms are available through McKenzie and Mears. I've heard the McKenzie Mears are different compared to the Mears that come direct from Mears (hope that makes sense!). Do you have a preference for which Mears?

I'm pretty sure both of my "mear's" deer are semi sneak. One is turned to the left, the other to the right. One has ears forward, other has ears back. I'll try to snap some pics later today.
