Re: Who does your big game taxidermy work?
dang the is one heck of a buck NOTENOUGHTAGS!!! i see it all the time in your avatar, but the up close shots always remind me how big he is! so, lets just every month or so just throw a random pic of him up for reminders!NotEnufTags wrote:I've only ever had one animal mounted. I went with Above Camp Taxidermy, in Lehi, UT on the recommedation of a friend. I was very pleased with the work and the turn around time.
Just in case you're wondering the ear was torn up while the buck was on the hoof. Probably from fighting. I asked that the ear remain torn for character. There's also bits of velvet left on the brow tines and under side of the main beams. I wanted that left too.
ditto to you to BIGR, another friekin toad.

Re: Who does your big game taxidermy work?
I have only had one animal mounted as well. It was the buck I shot after being over seas for 1 year and 9 month and was a very special hunt with my dad. I had full draw taxidermy do it for me. They did a great job considering the shape the cape was in. Unfortunatley it was very warm that year and some of the cape had to be trimmed down so the neck isn't as big on the mount as it really was. They did a great job considering though.

Looks good sneekeepete... Here is another mount I had done by Twin Pines. These were 2 year old white sheds when I gave them to him.

RynoUT, the brisket is all wrong on your deer. He ran the light color of the pit to far out. Other than that, the face looks good. Most people would never know it, but I have one the same way and it bothers the heck out of me. I'm sure he has learned his lesson on that now I'm sure.

The guy that did our antelope and my dads elk is Jim Ekins. We were pretty happy with his work.grimreaper wrote:DEADI, whats the name of the guy in toole that did your stuff? i have Dirk Bawden of Big Stuff in Erda do all of my my work! he is one of the best, if not the best in the state imo. he did my 2004 utah archery goat and it is increadible. it has its mouth open just a tiny bit so you can see the bottom teeth if you are paying atention. i didn't ask for anythinc specific i just let him take th reigns and i was completly happy with it!

I know what you are talking about and I think it's the form. It's as if the top of the legs were built in to the form, something you don't see on most mounts.GUTPYLZ wrote:RynoUT, the brisket is all wrong on your deer.
