I thought you folks may like to see a few more photos of the Jed Lowe Buck.

Bass Pro just opened a new store in Denver and as part of their Grand Opening they had the Jed Lowe Buck on Display.

Kool pictures. Man that was a quick job on that fill mount. Looks good it brings dimension to the size of the antlers.
 
I'm sorry - but I just don't have a taste for velvet bucks. They look like awkward teenagers who haven't grown into their bodies yet. The buck is cool, but I can't stand the velvet!

That's a great buck for sure!


Roadless areas, in general, represent some of the best fish and wildlife habitat on public lands. The bad news is that there is nothing positive about a road where fish and wildlife habitat are concerned -- absolutely nothing. (B&C Professor, Jack Ward Thomas, Fair Chase, Fall 2005, p.10).
 
Hawkk33,

The Antlers are removable. I'm assuming the body is not from the same deer. I'm also assuming Jed didn't feel the need to pack out a full hide.

Yes I saw the mount there At Bass Pro on Saturday and it is a ggod loking deer. Jed was even there standing next to the mount.
 
Man, someone needs to brush up that hair. Looks like he's been on display!

Michael~All Gods creatures welcome... right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy.
 
I wonder why they put a new cape on that deer, and why at least they didnt put a cape that was from an early autumn buck, that cape is dark grey and the picture of the lowe buck in the field is very light brown
 
I just got the eastmans bowhuntin jounal and he is on the cover sweet story and awsome buck!! but i dont think that mount looks very good, be better with just head mount.
Muley Man!
 
Agreed. He needs to mount him on his early fall cape. What's the typical frame score on that thing, 230"?
 
i dont know the typical frame but the magazine said it was 39 in wide with the kickers and scored 277 i think.
Muley Man!
 
That is a horrible looking Taxi job - the wavy hide all over teh place makes that thing look like it's diseased or something - not quite the majestic monarch look it had in those field pics of him with the buck!

one incredible rack!
 
I'm not going to go to see the buck. I want to talk to Jed and find out how he styles his hair. He looks like he just came off the cover of GQ after backpacking in the alpine for a week. I'm tired of bad hair days in the highcountry.
 
I thought the same thing about his hair. I usually look like Kramer after 2 days. He will probably make his fortune on hair gel sponserships, not hunting equipment.
 
Hi everyone,

I visit this site occasionally and I want to thank everyone for their congrats on my buck. I was extremely fortunate, and I appreciate everyone's kind comments.

I just want to clarify a thing or two mostly to defend my taxidermist. As any discerning eye could tell, that is not the cape from the actual deer. Bass Pro Shops wanted to display the rack on a shoulder or full body mount. My taxidermist could not have the head done in time, so I simply shipped the rack to Bass Pro Shops and they proceeded to mount it on one of the deer bodies that they had.

Jay Ogden, owner of Ogden Taxidermy in Richfield, Utah, will by doing the taxidermy on my buck, and anyone familiar with his reputation would know that any work he does on the buck will be flawless. I would not trust any taxidermist with my buck, however, I place wholehearted confidence in Jay. Unfortunately, for those of you who saw the deer displayed at Bass Pro Shops, you weren't able to see Jay's artistry. Hopefully in the future I can display the buck with his own cape brought back to "life" by Jay Ogden so you can see him how he lived and died.

Thanks for the compliments about the hair. I do have some styling tips if you want them. First you have to smash your hair down with a hat. Next you proceed to sweat buckets as you climb up and down mountains and cliffs. This gives your hair a nice wet look. After moistening the hair with lots of sweat, you crawl into a hot, sweaty tent and toss and turn all night as you wonder if you will have a shot at that giant buck in the morning. You also have to pull your hair out every now and then as things don't work out quite like you want them to. Finally, you have to kill the buck of your dreams to give your hair a little panache. I hope this helps.

Once again, thanks for your kind comments. I wish all of you well in your hunts this fall and hope that everyone gets the chance to live a dream as I was fortunate enough to do.

See you in the high country,
Jed Lowe
 
Thats terrific to hear this isnt the final mount, I didnt mean to offend with my comment but whats shown in the picts could definitely be improved :)

Cant wait to see the final mount of him.

Jed , congrats on a beautiful buck ! I loved the story in Eastmans too , and love the fact that you kept him in velvet . I dream someday to that challenge in those tree line CO hunts for a velvet buck . Any how , you have been blessed with a great buck , mammoth in every way and glad it was taken with archery equipment to boot . Again , congrats , and welcome to MM ....NMHUNTNUTT
 
Thanks for the hair tips! Now I can start leaving my little travel size tube of LA Looks hair gel at the trailhead. I've considered just going with a blaze orange headband or possibly a visor.

Congrats on a fabulous buck and I think its great you are leaving him in his original velvet. Thats cool.
 
Jed, where are you from. I have a son and his name is Jed Lowe also. My name is Reed Lowe and I am working on a New Power Plant here in Hardin, Montana. (Talk about dandy hunting here in Montana) That is a great Muley and you should be proud of him.

Jed,

I just want to congratulate you on a terrific buck. Hopefully, you will post some pictures for us as soon as the final mount is completed. In addition, thanks for the hair tips and being such a good sport!
