I need some ideas on what type of pedestal base to get for my mount.
Here is the buck.
Because of space in my house I'm going with a left turn like in the picture but probably not that hard of a turn. I want the eyes on the buck to be about 5 to 5.5 ft up making the mount a little over 7 feet tall. So I think the pedestal base needs to be around 38 to 45" tall. With the form being a semi sneak I was thinking the height would be around 24" from the bottom of the chest to the top of the head but I'm not sure.
I don't really want a manufactured base. I was thinking about something like what Wade Hanks does or a lodgepole base, or I have plenty of deer and elk sheds that I could make a base out of either. If anyone has any ideas or better yet pictures of something cool they have seen or done I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, Jason
