You knowMAtt....I have no idea what measurement he was talking about. I know my deer was a 200#'er....and I just heard 22", somewhere in the conversation when Keith called me to talk about the jawbone.
I ordered a "something" -65 form. I can find out what it is.....but he's kinda twisted a little to his right.....and his head is down int he form. I thought that would be a good one....as big as his head was. My taxi agreed.
I have no idea of how it'll turn out......but isn't that half the beauty???
Very cool Jeff, sounds like a sneak mount. I gotta say I'm super anxious to get mine back now too.........I should get it in like February. I get bumped to the front of the line a bit as a favor.....Dan apprenticed with this taxidermist a few years ago so he's a good friend of Dan's and has done something like 5 or 6 animals for Dan's family, plus we donate our capes to this guy every year so he has spares. I got a full aggressive McKenzie formwith the ears laid back and the head down and cocked to the side, he's going the flare the eyes out too. I thought it was fitting with how aggressive he was during the encounter, I don't think I've ever seen a whitetail act quite that aggressive in real life before. I'm awfully excited, and it's going to be a long wait to get him back!
