Hey guys,
I just got my 05 buck back from the taxidermist a month ago. It is the mount on the left. The same taxidermist mounted all 3 of these bucks. Personally, i like all 3 mounts. I believe the middle buck could have his eyes closed a little bit more though. What do you guys think?

He looks great Matt!!

The middle "Bleeder" buck(LOL!) does look a bit more wide-eyed but he still looks great! More of a "relive the memory" mount anyhow.

Pretty impressive line up you're getting. Add in your bro's buck and Big Tree must be smiling ear to ear with pride!!

Thanks Brent!
Im gonna have to stop mounting everything decent that i get. Gotta leave some room on the wall for when i take my 240" next year! My brother still has to pick his mount up or i would have posted pictures of it as well. Yea, my dad is pretty happy, i just gotta get him out more and try to find something good for him.
 
Matt,
Very fond memories of that walltent. I'll be keeping my eye on the Buy and Sell this winter and see if I can find another one about the same size.
The mounts look pretty damn good to me. Steve's double dropper will look awesome hanging up there amongst those typicals.
BTW, 2007 is your year man. We'll find ya a big NT this fall that will make MnT look like a dink. :)
 
Haha, karma will work wonders for me eh?! A big non typical would be nice to get, but just being able to spend the time out there hunting is good enough for me!
 
Sweet mounts Matt !! There aren't many guys who do as well as you do on muleys !!

You will definatly drop the hammer on a big non-typical / typical next year !!
 
Nice' Looks more to be a typical gene pool in the area you've been huntin...
 
Manny, that is the same buck that is mounted on the left. It grossed 179" and nets 177" and change. We all thought it would go higher but he was all tines...no brow tines and didnt have the greatest mass. The middle buck grossed 183 and change and nets 178".
 
I like them all. I do agree however that the midle buck does have alot of eyeball showing.

Maybe the taxidermist was going for the "Deer in the headlights" look? :)

Excellent collection Matt! Now to add a Non-Typical to the group this fall.
 
Hey Matt! Great looking collection you got there! Are you hangin any of those velvet racks you got on plaques? Who did your recent taxi is he doin Stevo's aswell?
 
I havent done anything with the velvet racks yet, just have them sittin' in the closet. The taxidermist is just retired guy that does it for a hobby, he lives in Logan Lake. If you want to know his name send me an e-mail, [email protected].
Yep, he is doing my brothers mount as well. It is actually finished my brother just needs to get off his butt and pick it up!
 
Great mounts and nice bucks. Yes, the buck in the middle has the exploding eyes. And the room you have to hang them in is really nice, too.

Congrats. If you need a camp flunkee for that BC hunt, put me on the short list. Thsoe are great bucks and you guys hunt some super country.
 
Thanks guys! Yes, the bird is an owl. I believe my dad hit it with his truck a few years ago, he took it in and got the proper permits and everything to have it mounted.
 
All are nice ones!
Taxidermist probably just thought he would make that middle one have the same "oh shxt" expression on his face like he did right before you pulled the trigger! lol...
 
LAST EDITED ON Feb-06-07 AT 01:01PM (MST)[p]They all look pretty good - the middle one looks constipated, the one on the left is a fat pig! Even in the pics he really looks like a huge bodied deer. The taxi did him justice keeping him that way. My favorite is the one on the right - he doesn't have the biggest rack, but I think the mount looks the best. I would be proud of all 3 of them! COOL WALL!
