Got My Deer Back
 

Well most of you know in the begining of october i shot my first buck with a bow and it was an 11 point. Now hes not the biggest 11 point but it was still my first buck with a bow and i really thought of this deer as a trophy.
So i wanted to get him mounted but i just wasnt sure since it was expensive and i know (hope) i will shoot a bigger one eventualy. So it was a hard choice but i decided to just go ahead and spend the money and get it mounted.
Well today i got it back from the guy and I think he did a great job. Now i really havent seen many mounts but i think this one looks great. He also got it done fast.
2 Months!!!! For 425 bucks

But here are the pictures of the mount and the deer so you guys can see both and compare.

Please tell me what ya think, Like if its good or not. I wont be hurt if you say its not since I think its good and to me on that only my opinion counts for me.
But i would like to hear what you guys think.

Mike.

Doesn't Look like the same deer! And where do you see 11 points?

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

You cant really see it but HIS left brow tine is like a dubble. And it is a leagal point size wise not buy much but it is.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Mike, I'm not a taxidermy expert but I think it looks great. I always like the looks of the head being in a lower position likethat. What do they call that pose.I shot a small eight point last year and wish I would of had it mounted. If I get a bigger buck I may go with some kind of a sneek pose.

Looks great!!
Congrats!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

The tag on it with my info said

FULL SNEAK

So i guess thats what its called.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

It's called a semi sneek or just sneek!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

I think it looks good would love to have him on my wall

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

If it was my first, I would have gotten it mounted to, nice Buck, looks nice to.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

The mount looks o.k., but it looks like you didn't leave him enough of the cape.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Well i deffentrly left him enough cape. I gave him the whole thing. UNless i damaged it since at first i wasnt going to get it mounted.

Ray,
I like it. If it reminds you of that hunt everytime you see it then it is money well spent. I could see all 11 Points. Great job

I think it looks my friend, congrats on the deer.. As far as the price goes, I pay 369.00 and he puts it on a piece of wood too.. BUT, takes almost a year cuz the guy is so dang busy.. For the price and the time you did pretty good... That's pretty fast...

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Nice buck, congrats!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

I like it. Congratulations!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Thanks alot guys, Im deffently glad i got it done!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Great looking mount IMO. Congrats

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

That is a very nice mount, congratulations!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

I think that is a great looking mount. Nice full sneak pose. Congrats on your 1st bow buck.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

great mount. i paid 300.00 for mine but i had to wait an excruciating 15 months for it. lol i saw 11 points btw. great deer.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Thanks again guys

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

looks good but that largemouth in the backround could use a few pounds>>lol
just kidding

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

I think it looks good, congrats.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Ditto, congrats!!!!!!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Well both fish in the backround i caught when i was like 6 or so. The large mouth is about 4.5 pounds and the top fish is a rainbow trout about 19 inches or so.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Looks good, im getting my mount similar to yours.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Very lifelike , very speedy service , and an excellent price too for such quality work .

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

SRBowman,
You are incorrect! The mount is a "Full Sneak" and I believe it is actually a "Full Sneak w/Head Up" by McKenzie. A semi-Sneak form has quite a bit more lift in the neck and head position. Not every form manufacturer labels their forms with the exact title.

RayHunter,
You have nothing to be ashamed of because you chose to mount your deer. It doesn't take a huge rack to make a nice mount. The guys that used to show up in my shop and ask "Who would mount a deer like that?", where normally the same guys I wanted out of the shop as fast as they could find the door. They were normally the same guys that said "make his neck as big as you can" or made it a point to try and let me know their expertise in hunting and what makes a good mount. It's easy to tell who is full of "you know what" because ever time they open that big hole under their nose itspews out.

RAY,

Congrats on your first whitetail buck with a bow and great looking mount. The first buck I shot was spike and I couldnt have been more proud of that deer...still am today..

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Ilike the full sneak,I may get my next mount done that way. Don't listen to the people who say negative things about your deer or fish or anything else, if they make you happy then that's all that matters!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

looks good,congrats

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Well thats why i said on my very first post that if i dont care if anyone says anything bad about it because i think its great and im VERY proud of this deer. And my opinion is the one im goin with.

But Thanks again everyone and as for the pose of the deer. My tag said

FULL SNEAK RT I guess the RT is lookin right. Since he is lookin right some.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Mike, congrats. on the nice deer. I think it looks great.The only thing that concerns me, and maybe I'm worried about nothing, but do you think it's a good idea having that lamp directly underneath it. I don't know ifit would discolor it after a while? Maybe someone with a little more knowledge could answer that question. Once again congrats.

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Great mount Mike!!!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Look's Good Congrats on the Buck

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

I like that sneak, that's what I'm having done with mine! Cool mount dude!

RE: Got My Deer Back
 

Thanks alot guys,

Crabclaw. I actually didnt think about that. I did think about it getting hot but it doesnt.

But the discoloring i will have to look in to.

If anyone knows the answer to this please post but i will also look in to this my self.

thanks alot guys.

RE: Got My Deer Back
