Seen this on another forum .
I think its a great way to show your hard work ,
So weather your a pro or only done a few mounts . I,d like to see them along with most hunters on this forum .
Even if you had someone mount deer for you and want to show it off,,, LOL....
Theres some very good talent and ideas out there , so lets see some mounts new or old...,, :happy0001:

I second that VERY NICE WORK HERE .
But where the heck is that thing going ??
Umm how abought the ladies room......:s2:

Thanks guys !!
That client has a 2300 sq. ft. trophy room and lives in Florida.
We actually hauled the Rhino & 14 other lifesize mounts from here in Ohio to his place in Florida & helped set everything up.

How much does that thing weigh? Not like the actual animals weight but the mount in general..

I would say after we put the finished oak trim on that the whole piece weighed around 800 lbs.
And get this. We could not wheel it to his trophy room !! The door through the garage was too small. So we had to carry it around the house about 125 yards to the big french double doors in the trophy room !!!
But it was all worth it in the end.

H.S.
 

Someone has some serious play money ..
Whats something like that cost to mount if I might ask ?
Has to be 8 - 10 grand ??

I,m not a taxidermist but see know quality when I see it .
We have some good to very good taxidermists in the area but some of you guys are Show QUALITY by far ..
