Pedestal deer mounts

If you've had one done, I'd like to see it! Include which form you used if possible.

I'll get you a pic from my buddy he did a great velvet pedestal mount last year where it is supported from the bottom by a european mount laying on it's side. If I shot a buck like yours that would be the mount I would do.

Awesome - can't wait to see it.

If your interested in browsing go to a huge taxidermy HSOforum and on their forum you might find the pedestal and pose you're looking for. I have seen one in particular custom mount with the buck working a rub. The weight of the mount was attached to the tree.

Sorry sticks my buddy isn't very good with the computer and messed up sending it alot, but here it is the only thing I would change is to go with a closed mouth kinda looks goofy with the grass in the mouth. The mount is even better in person.

That's a cool pedestal stand - haven't seen one like that before. I had thought of doing something similar with my sheds but floor space is limited so I'm thinking a wall-mount is in order. I thought this was a cool one for the wall...

Lots of great forms & habitat available to create unique mounts. Picking out one is the hard part! Thanks for posting that - hopefully we can get a few more posted or if anyone else is interested or looking for ideas, I've got quite a few saved on my computer I could post too.

He can do anything you would want and not located far from you. He's in St.Francis he is the only one that I will bring my stuff to from now on.

I've already got a taxidermist, just wanted to get a few more ideas on forms & pedestals. If you ever consider a pedestal, check out the Joe Coombs 9500 form. It's got a lot more shoulder on it that shows the true size of the deer. Most pedestals really cut out the shoulder and make the deer appear small. That was my only turn off to them.
