mooseslayer Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Woohoo. My friend Alain who does taxidermy almost done my mount. It has been mounted and drying for a week. Less than 3 weeks!. He has final touchups and I'll get it Saturday. I will post more pictures then. If anyone needs a deer or bear done he does fabulous work. PM me if you want his number.

Tyler0420 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 i thought you killed that deer? looks alive still, tell your buddy he did a great job. whats the price on getting something like that mounted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseslayer Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Deer mounts are $500 now. The costs for mannequin, pickle, tanning solutions go up every year and there is a lot of work. I can't wait to see it finished. I have a deer mount at the end of my rec room looking right so we made this one looking left. It should make for a nice view. I have 2 big sets moose antlers at the other end of the room that are 55 and 58 inches wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooseslayer Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 It's home!. Got my deer back Saturday and I'm very happy. Now I have bookends as the one on the right is one I won Big buck contest probably over 15 years ago. Alain did a great job. He fussed about a gore mark on the neck that he couldn't fix because hair must have got cut when it happened. I like it...gives it character and shows he was a scrapper. Here are pictures of it with my other deer and my 2 big archery moose racks at the other end of my rec room. The room is complete now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 All beautiful mounts and trophies moose-slayer ! I never hunted deer , and only have one moose rack which is too big to put anywhere inside my house with a 6.5 ' ceiling in the basement . It has been in the garage joists for years......and a bear rug at son's house . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseslayer Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 The moose racks I have are huge as well and they take up a lot of room. The one on the left is 58 1/4 inches wide. I got in 2001 and when I put it in FROW record book it was #9 all-time archery. Not sure where it stands now. They're really heavy as well and I cut out plate steel and securely anchored to the back of the skull and then cut a keyhole slot and it hangs off a large lag bolt into wall. My ceilings are low as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf and Turf Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Very nice mounts! Gunner from the site does excellent work as well. He did a duck mount a few years ago for me. I believe he does fish, as well as, big game too. Looking foward to getting something "wall worthy" this year, ideally for my son's first deer hunt!
