A few of my mount pics
 
I finally figured out my scanner and how to upload pics so I wanted to post a few pics of a few of my mounts. I will probably have to do 2 posts for the two pics I wanted to post. I always enjoy seeing others mounts and wanted to show a few of mine.

How long are those G1 and 2's? That thing's got goal posts! How much did it cost to have afull body mount like that done?

Thanks! On the right side his G2 was about 9 and his G3 was 10-1/4", the left side G2 was 7-1/4 , G3 was 9-1/4. His left brow tine was broken off. I still like him though;) He was 217 lbs. field dressed. I was very lucky on this deal. I called my taxidermist how much it would be for a full mount ( this was in 1998). He told me about $1000. I mulled it around for a few days and decided to just go ahead and do a chest mount. If he would have said around $800.00 I would have done it. I do all my own butchering, so the day that I was getting ready to butcher him , as a matter of fact I was just getting ready to start the first cut up around hsi back to cape him, my daughter came out with the phone and said I had a phone call. I told her to ask who it was so I could call them back. She said itwas Steve your taxidermist. The first thing he said was, tell me that you didn't buthcher your deer yet. I told him that I was actually just getting ready to cape it out. He told me that he had talked to a guy that I worked with who stopped to see the buck and that it was really a big buck. He said he would make me a deal. I f I would allow people to come and look at it at my convinience if they wanted to see it, he would do it for $650.00 !! I about fell over. I said buddy, if you would have called a few minutes later it would have been too late. Now he charges $1100.00 fora full mount so I was pretty lucky!! Healso did the half mount and the other buck you saw. Well actually he does all my stuff now. He did a real nice job on my fox and is doing a coyote for me now. They are all bowkills by the way. I only bowhunt.
