I have thought if RD hits dirt he will get a pedestal...the question is if it will be a wall one or freestanding....I agree with others though some deer I've seen with them I just don't like at all.
I agree it has to be on certain deer some deer dont look good with certain mounts esp. a pedestal. I've done taxideremy work so been around alot of different ones and forms. But my personal favorites are the semi-sneak's i've seen many deer mounted on semi-sneaks and have yet to see a bad looking mount in that series. But i do like the pedestal more on a base than on the wall.
The right deer for the right mount. I want to remember the deer and the hunt. If I watched him sneaking along, then that is how I want him mounted. If he was alert looking around, a pedestal/wall would be my choice. So many good options!
I should be getting my Wyoming back in about a month. Ended up going with a wall pedestal 8500 series. Excited to see how it turns out
I love my wall pedestal. I used a Joe Coombs form and pivoting bracket. I did this because I don't have a ton if wallspace in the house where a mount coming out of the wall won't get bumped, so I wanted to put mine In a corner and it allowed me to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I did my biggest one a full pedestal... The base changes every so often from having pictures on it, sometimes fall decor, sometimes shed antlers, just whatever we feel like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I wish I would've gotten my buck this year in a pedestal mount. Oh well I'm just gonna have to shoot one bigger next year for that
My two bucks from this year will both be wall pedestals... With this mount. Rector showed it to me, it functions just like a camera arm, so it pivots at the wall as well as at the mount so you can have it move and face it any way you want. Pedestal Swivel Mount
That's the exact mount that I have on the back of my buck. It allows more versatility for placement in the room. That's why I like pedestal mounts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
