Default RE: Deer Mount Question Help

ORIGINAL: Redneck Bow Hunter

we really didnt care to much for the full sneak thats why we went with the semi sneak alert this is his first mount and first buck so we just really wanted a regular shoulder mount but thought this looked better. If anyone can find some picsof a Semi Sneak Alert mount please post still have been looking on the weband cant find any yet just want to see how the finished product will look without going to the taxidermy again Thanks
A Semi-Sneak is a semi-sneak unless the head is up or down in which case it's a Semi Sneak Head up or Head down. LOL

There is no such thing as a Semi-Sneak "Alert" form........the alert part will come from your taxidermist and how he sets the ears which I'm assuming you told him you want mounted in the alert position.

99% of the time you will seea Semi Sneak deer with it's ears BACK not alert........I know my taxidermist would whack me in the head with a squirrel form if I asked him for a Semi Sneak deer with alert ears.


Check out this picture.......it has a pretty good selection of form styles and you'll notice one thing: All the Semi Sneak mounts have ears that go back.
A couple of the upright or semi upright styles have alert ears and oddly the one Full sneak but none of the Semi Sneaks. (The big middle picture is a Semi Sneak as well)



It's your deer and I don't want to tell you what to do.......I just know any taxidermist worth his salt is cringing inside when someone wants a Semi Sneak with alert ears. LOL
