The taxidermist has me thinking of trying a wall pedestal mount for the first time. I am thinking about the Mckenzie 9800. Anyone else have any wall pedestal mounts and how do you like them?
I really like them, just never killed a buck big enough to warrant it. I feel like a wall pedestal is a great option for one that you know is gonna be your buck of a lifetime.
I'm totally in love with the wall pedestal mounts. I have several mounts so far but I'm saving these for 'the one' One of these days I'll get a buck nice enough to use.
That is a cool mount for the right deer that is for sure, heck i'm still waiting to get a wall mounter. Beefie
I feel the exact same way as Matt. I love them but it would take a giant for me to use one of these forms.
I like wall pedastals and used it twice. Trying to understand everyone's reason for only wanting to use this form on a once in a lifetime deer? If I get a once in a lifetime buck I'll probably use a true pedastal form, but I'll keep using the wall pedastal. I think it brings more size and life to the mount.
My 9800 is my favorite mount.. But I do agree it won't work on all bucks. but.. As you asked.. I absolutely love mine. keep in mind wall height.. My pedestal wall mount is like 49" tall.. On a typical 9 foot floor to ceiling room.. That's a lot of wall space.
Did mine because I have had 6 normal shoulder mounts done and this was my first P.Y buck....it only cost $50 more..
I love mine. Chose it because I wanted the mount to remind me of his last pose before I sent the arrow his way. He was chasing a doe away and I gave a mouth bleat. He stopped dead in his tracks and looked over his shoulder at me. When I walked into the taxidermist's shop, I saw it on the wall right away and new that's what I wanted.
Wow. That's an impressive mount. Love the pedestal mounts, wish the wifey did too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Personally I don't like them, to me they look like a side of beef with the head still attached. To each his own though.
