My taxidermist called last week to let me know my form came in and to come see what I thought of the pose. I chose a new mckenzie "swoop" form which shows some neck turn and accentuates some of the shoulder muscles. It's a lot like the wall pedistal poses, though not as drastic, except the back sits flat on the wall and doesn't have a huge chunk cut out of the back of the form. I really like the pose! He has some "movement" to him and is still looking out into the room with just enough head turn to accentuate his stronger side. The taxi also said he had to get the largest form to fit the cape. He said the neck was in the 21-23" inch range which was, in his opinion, pretty stout for a summer buck. I wish so bad I would have had him (tooth) aged. I'm thinking he was an old fart on his way down??? Seeing my buck again last week really has me excited for him to be done. What do you think?....
This was taken straight on (how he will look on the wall)
Here he is in the field
I go about 210 and he makes me look small
I'll post up some pics when he's stretched and done.
