Deer mount in the making....finished.

[CZowner07]

My dad killed two 9 pointsast year so he decided to try and mount on himself. This is his 1st attempt. It will be ready in a few weeks once it dries. This is what it looks like so far.....

EDIT: The mount is a grooming mount....not your typical head to the left or right mount.

Looken good i like the grooming mount

I like it too and very nice rack.

Does the antlers still give it room to hang on the wall with them turned that way? Hard to tell....looks like they still would not get in the way but I was just curious.

Yes, the antlers have enough room to be mounted on the wall....That is IF we can find place on the wall . We have 7 on the wall in less than 12 yrs ( no huge racks besides the one that was shot 2 yrs earlier 76" on one side and 46" on the other side lol, but some big bodied 190-210lb deer). He decided to mount his own deer since our lease is a management lease so we have to mount 8pt or better. He killed two small deer last year (this one and another), so he decided to give mounting a deer a shot. He bought a book with all kinds of different mounting molds and chose this one since it was soo unique. I'll post finall product when it is finish drying.

This is the finished product. Doesn't look too bad for his first mout, and the pedistal was also built by my dad.

Do you do this professionally? I've been looking for a taxidermist as good as Bischoff used to be and looks like you come real close.
