Great buck! Its gonna look awesome no matter what you decide to do with it. My buddy did this mount for a taxidermy competition he was in. You could easily do this with a deer as well. Below the bull he did a wallow with fake water. The base was solid elk horns. Coolest mount ive ever seen by far. Elk scored 406" as a typical just in case anyone was wondering.
Here's mine... I built the base and went out and found an old cedar stump to mount my deer to. Turned out pretty good! Compliments of Kelly Black Taxidermy.

God I love how good that Mount looks. I hope mine turns out that good, of course Im getting mine done for a wall mount, but I just love looking at this Ped mount. Deer looks great.
