    He's tall, keep that in mind. You'll have to mount him a bit lower dependent on the pose.

    I have two in the semi sneak, one left and one right turn. IMO get a turn on him regardless of pose. Straight on mounts take on that deer in headlights or even "stuffed" deer look.

    I agree with getting the head turned a direction no matter which side. My brother had one done straight upright and I'm not a fan.

    I'm getting a buck mounted that I shot over the weeken and want the McKenzie 6700 semi sneak wall pedestal, but it looks like they don't have one to fit the D neck measurement. It's 25". The 6900 series has the measurement and looks very similar. I like how these manikins don't have such a large exposed cup near the wall. Any one know of another brand wall pedestal such as this? Anyone have a pic of a wall pedestal mount they had done and the brand and series that it is?

    Your wall looks like the local Bass Pro Shop. Major congrats on your hunting, sir. Shazam!

    Not the best pics but its all I have with me at the moment. The deer looks more mature than the other mount I have. The other one is another McKenzie semi sneak, not sure on the number though.
