Appears deer grow on trees in your area, huh?

Sorry, couldn't resist. The devil made me do it. ;-)

Nice mount.

From what I can see it looks great! Most people look at the antlers and not the actual mount itself but you probably already knew that. What taxidermy company did the mule deer form come from? Can you post any closer pics of the face? quest

Quest, I mounted this deer on a Mckenzie mule deer semi-sneak form and altered it from there. Here are few more closer pictures.

Looks really good!

If you are not in business doing taxidermy then you should quite your job and be a taxidermist immediately. Fantastic mount!

Thanks for the close ups. A lot of mounts dont look that great once you focus on something other than the antlers.

You did a great job. This your hobby or your job, and where are you located?

I've been a full-time taxidermist for 4 years now. I am located in Morgan, UT. I work full-time for a very good taxidermy company in Coalville. I also do my own work on the side. This mule deer is an example of my own work. Thanks for all the positive feedback.

I think it sure looks good, actually I think it looks great...

Dude, that is beautiful... My uncle dabbles in mounting deer heads, and the next mount he is doing we were trying to decide on doing a "ruttin' look" just like you've done here... You've convinced me it can be done, and done well...
Are you at High Uintah Taxidermy in Coalville..?
Is this a Chalk Creek buck...?
Just curious my friend...

Beautiful mount! You did a great job with it. Something different in a very good way. I wouldn't hesitate to use you as a taxidermist.

Looks great! I like the snow at the bottom as well.

BrowningRage,
Yes, i do work at High Uintah's Taxidermy in Coalville. This isn't a chalk creek deer, though, it actually came from SE Idaho. I'm glad you like the mount.
