I've been a MonsterMuley member for a long time but have never posted too much. Thirteen years ago, after going through a divorce, I was able to go spend some time in the hills deer hunting in No. Utah. I took this nice 3pt in the Monte Cristo area. This was my first muley. I love this picture because it includes some of the old timers who were always at our family deer camp every year since I was a kid, and my dad & brothers. Two of the old timers have since passed away. So this buck has some special meaning to me. At the time, I chose to do a european mount which was a big mistake since the cape was beautiful and included a double white throat patch. I'm sure we have all made similar mistakes with capes during our early years of hunting.
Fast forward to now and I finally have this buck on the wall. I actually did the taxidermy work myself. I am a wildlife artist who has decided to get into taxidermy. The cape used was from a longer hair older buck, so the face has some grey coloring in it, and the brow was no longer black. The second buck pictured I recently finished. It came from another No. Utah buck with a beautiful cape.
I'm currently working on this 231" buck (I had it officially scored) that is unreal. I will post some pictures of it once completed. This buck will be on display at the HuntExpo in Salt Lake in February 2012.
If looking for a good Taxidermist with an artistic perspective at a great price, send me a PM. Good Luck to all on the remaining hunts in 2011.
