Default RE: Whitetail Pedestal Mount Ideas?

Mike,
Here's another look at mine.........it's a "Full Wall Pedestal" Joe Coombs form
model #94-7222R

BEAUTIFUL form. I'll also include a link to all of his pedestal style, Full wall, classic and Pivot. (All can be made into a stand alone pedestal by agood taxidermist)

The form will be everything on this mount, don't just settle for any old form because it's called a "pedestal"and fits. Choose wisely!I've found most taxidermists want to just use McKenzie forms because theyoffer so many sizes it's easy to find one that fits.
One thing you'll notice about the Coombs full wall model I picked. It gives you quite a bit more body behind the shoulder rather than that sharp 1/2 moon arc looking style some forms use.
I considered getting the form you see above done on a standalone fence post or driftwood base but opted for the wall......in any event that form could be made into a stand alone.
