Ancient old bruiser… last day of the season last year. He was on one side of the road — needed to be on the other.?

Thanks. Probably the luckiest I’ve ever been in my hunting life…. All of the cards fell just right from start to finish. Longest side was 35-6/8”.

I FINALLY got my mount back, and I couldn’t be more pleased. This is exactly what I wanted! The taxidermist said that he loved the form and would definitely be using it again. Thanks again for the help and suggestions!!!

Another strike out for my wife and me. Good luck to those who drew!!!

Rridgeback - awesome buck and mount!!!

Just an update… I called Dave Furgeson in Utah - Super nice and helpful. They are now making the Steve Tait low-slung sneak form in different sizes and both turns. They also added a left turn sneak wall pedestal form to their line. I almost went with the wall pedestal, but the Steve Tait...

Wyo_R, I like your form, but prefer the nose to be a touch higher similar to the Steve Tait form. Nontypical, Any idea what form that is?

Thanks, elkin44!

I have not, but saw a post of his from years ago that the mold had been sold to some outfit in Utah, but they quit forming them due to the price of foam. Would you mind expanding on the Joe Coombs form?

For reference, these are some pictures prior to the stalk and then moments before the shot. He was actively working does, and I want the mount to re-live those memories.

Thanks, Cahunter805! Robiland, I know those are pedestal forms, but would you mind sharing the make and series? Thanks!

It’s getting time to choose a form for my buck. I have decided on a full sneak, left turn, but I cannot find the form I want. My taxidermist is willing to use any form from any company. My research (confirmed by my taxidermist) is that the McKenzie forms tend to be slender faced and necked...

Congrats on the draws. We are swinging and missing, so far.

Good luck to your grandson!

Another great buck - congrats! I love the mass!

Congrats on a nice buck!

Interestingly enough, I have never heard of “Stuck in the Rut.” I searched - the first video I pulled up had drone footage about 30 seconds in… ? I like to watch hardcore hunting. The posers and goofballs don’t do it for me.

Finally starting to see some non-nocturnal bucks. Access is TOUGH around here, so pictures will have to do for the most (excuse the crappy phone through the binocular shots.) Still haven’t found the big boys that I know made it through February, but I will stay after them. We had some...

That buck would pretty much sum up my dreams!!!

Hunted 37 (excluding Capitan) rifle MD in 2007. We hunted the east and NE side of Carrizo Mountain. Hunters were everywhere! Had a YOUNG 6x5 shot right in front of us from way across the draw opening morning. Kept moving north to get away from other folks, but we got into fewer and fewer...

My wife shot this OLD buck in NM several years ago. He was less than 1/2 mile from the road, uphill, and it was raining like crazy before the light snow hit; so I thought I would save my self a pack out and drug him. I almost killed myself and regretted every step!!!

Nothing but red for me, again, as I compete for 6% of 125-250 (from 6 to 15) tags with several thousand other folks. Logic tells me to quit giving their liberal government an interest-free, several-thousand dollar loan and a $150 dollar donation every year, but the loony in me can’t help it...

Those Sandhill bucks get BIG!!! Not sure what this one weighed - no scales at the time - but we are guessing 225ish dressed based on other bucks we have weighed since then. For reference, I’m 6’1”, 250. Not big compared to the big mountain muleys or the monstrous sandhill bucks, but big for...

I LOVE that top mount!!! Any idea what full sneak form your taxi used?

Mine, too. Cool buck!

My 10 year old daughter had quite a morning last weekend. A turkey double followed by her first coyote. All 3 came in on a string to calling. I am so proud of her for the practice she puts in beforehand and the shooting discipline she shows in the field - she’s not shooting until she KNOWS...

It is definitely a wall pedestal. Appears to be a “full sneak.” Just curious on who made the form - McKenzie, Coombs, etc. Thanks for the photo, BIGOLMULEY. Beautiful buck and mount!

Love that lower right form. Any idea which form it is? Really nice bucks and mounts, BTW!

This ^

Amazing buck!!! So cool to have the pictures and videos, as well. Congrats!!!

Congrats! Idaho

That buck is what dreams are made of!!!

What a year!!! Congrats!

Mike does do axis. I know he has some big free range bucks... may have some high-fence places, as well. I hunted with Mike for aoudad a few years ago. He knows his stuff and does his best to make sure you have a great hunt.

I think the mount looks good, but I am a fan of leveling the eyes. A lot of turned forms will “cant” the head if the brisket-to-backbone line is plumbed. I twist the form until the eyes are level. Just personal preference, though...

x2!!!

Sorry. Winds were about 40mph that day - just couldn’t get good footage with the wind/distance.

This one was tough - all impressive bucks! 2, 8, and 9 were my top three favorites.
