ORIGINAL: jcchartboy

C. Davis,

Was the rack that dark when the deer was shot, or did the taxidermist darken it? Do you have any pics of the deer before it went to the Taxidermist ?

The reason I ask is that I know some Taxi's seem to darken the rack, not sure whether it is always intentional or not though...
jcc..,
The pics I had are on a computer that is not working at the moment. I thought I had them on here, but I guess not. The base of the antlers are pretty much like I shot the deer, but the tines did come back from the taxidermest darker. I told him that I wanted them to be as dark as when I brought it to him, and they are somewhat darker. If you look at the tips of the brow tines, you will see the lighter color. That is the more accurate color of the tines. I may have over emphasized the fact that I did not want the antlers to come back any lighter.

Man Greg, that is a monster.

C. Davis

I'm really more of a leg man, but so long as the racks are natural I like them all.
