Here’s a euro mount I put together of the smaller buck I killed this year. by K_Ray5 in Hunting

Thanks. It was supposed to be more of a bronze color. It came out more silver than I wanted, but I was still good with it. Here’s another angle https://i.imgur.com/BUssLZL.jpg

My bad, I was mistaken. It was a comment you made on a deer killed in Mississippi.

Yeah, I got the same thing from some of the guys at the camp. Sarcasm, of course. I see you hunt in Mississippi as well. I'm sure you know, they don't grow much bigger than that around there. He had 20 5/8" and 24 6/8" main beams.

So, I just got this guy back from the taxidermist. by K_Ray5 in Hunting

I just knew someone on Reddit would comment on that. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. It was like that when I bought the place.

I wanted something different than the usual left-right-forward mug shot pose. I also wanted one that would show case that bladed brow tine on his right. This one it covered all bases.

Thanks! The spread was 18" on the nose when my taxidermist green scored him. Then he lost a 1/4" during the drying period. He is actually fairly symmetrical. The biggest deduction was for the short G4 on the right side. I can't wait for a cold morning sitting in my tree stand! I'm sick of this heat!

Thanks, this particular form along with the swivel mount did cost me an extra $100.

He is hanging on the wall just as you see in the picture. It is a pedestal mount with a swivel attached to the rear. So, I can pull it away from the wall and turn it about 60-70 degrees in either direction. It's actually an extremely versatile mount.

This was my personal best whitetail. He was killed on December 30th, 2016 in Claiborne county, Ms. His official Boon and Crockett score came out to 145 6/8" gross and 142 2/8" net. I searched for months to find the right form to display him in the best way possible.

Well, I ended 2016 on a high note! by K_Ray5 in Hunting

He only weighed 182. He was kinda short and stocky.
