Well I got the call late last week from the taxidermist letting me know buck #2 was done. For those of you that didn't read the story behind this buck the original thread is here. Just like the first mount I got back a couple weeks ago, I'm beyond thrilled with this mount too. I wanted a full sneak but there really aren't a lot of options I like on forms for a deer this size. He had a 24" neck and 7 3/4" nose/eye and Ohio Taxidermy Supply has the only full sneak I really liked but they don't have one this size. I talked with the taxidermist and he said he'd be comfortable modifying a 6900 semi sneak to give the deer an upward/cocked head position. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but after seeing it last night when I picked it up I'm really happy with it.
Very nice !! 24" neck is a bruiser. I am a bit surprised he didn't also alter the back of the form...
Once again Congrats! You realize we expect two bucks this coming fall out of you again for our team to repeat? :D
Thanks!! Despite losing the lease I was on last year, I think I should have a fair chance to get it done again. I've got three pieces of really good property lined up for 2015 already, one of them I actually like better than the place last year.
