I agree...also mounting as you saw it or as YOU want it is the right way after all YOU are the one paying for the mount! I had a taxidermist say he could add a brow tine that was broke off on one mount I had done...I said no thats the way I shot him so thats the way I want him mounted. Plus it gives character IMO.

Freak i tell ya ! Shoot again !

Not the greatest pictures, but first Congrats on a outstanding animal. Second you should shop around next time on your taxidermist. In taxidermy you get what you pay for.

Hey, that's a great looking buck, but the only question I have about the mount is - are his feet touching the floor on the other side of the wall?

Wow thats a beauty! Your friends probably a bit jealous lol.

yea same here. heck of a cool buck though! congrats

Exactly what I said. I always try to pose them as close as I can get to the way I first saw them. To answer a few questions. Lighting-My wife picked out the fixtures for the room and I hate the light they put out. Not near enough or bright enough. Almost a tan color even. Taxidermist-He's not doing taxidermy anymore. I have a new guy for this years buck. Took the pics with my cell phone. Thanks guys.

That's a great buck right there! Congrats. :happy0001:

Yes he is mounted wrong, he wasn't shot by me, and is not on my wall. :D

Other than that he looks GREAT.
The way he is turned shows off the drop tine with the most character.
It wouldn't look as good the other way.
JMHO

Congratulations on a very nice buck.

If you like how he looks then that is all that matters. He is a nice buck.
