Agree.... I think I picked wrong form on this one

I was feeling spunky/risky the day I picked the form/pose :lol:

As long as you grow to like it who cares what anybody else thinks. If he pinned his ears back after you snort weezed that is pretty cool you mounted him like that. I like to mount mine in the position I last remember before releasing my arrow.

I'm not a fan of the pose.

Yeah head doesn't seemed tipped down enough in pose. I don't get the sense " I'm going to stick you with these antlers" like I feel you where going for. But either way awesome wall and looking like basement is getting closer to being done for your beast get together. ..lol

I'm not a big fan of the ears layed back on a mount, but it looks like good work by the taxi. I will say the mount I have that I liked the most when I picked it up, I now hate. So my guess is that it will grow on you.

First off nice looking wall! I think that pinned ear look is suppose to make the deer look more aggressive, but it actually does the reverse on your mount. Beautiful buck, but that mount doesn't do that buck justice at all.

I'm drooling over the musky just as much as the bucks. 8-)

How big are those? Are they replica's or skin mounts?

Maybe the one on the floor is a pike? :think:

Like Jackson M said, when you kill that many mounters you get to try every pose. I don't think it's bad, cause that's how he came in when you shot him.
A buck will see you three times, and hear you twice, but he's only gonna smell you once.

I agree when you have that many, getting them done with some sentiment in how they last were is pretty cool

I like the mount. Head could be tipped a bit more compared to the pic but I like it. Not fond of the eyes though. I think that's what makes it kind of odd. But hey not downin it at all, I like it.
