Dandy Washington Mule Deer pedestal mount (Charlies Taxidermy)
« on: February 28, 2013, 10:12:13 AM »
I love this buck, big blocky head, squared off rack, nice black cap . Just a typical Toad from washington. Only thing he is missing is a 10 inch drop tine LOL. This form actually had some pretty extensive mods, new head, sharper turn, resculpted shoulders. This buck gave me some fits, just didnt like the look of the stock form so out came the sawsall LOL . What you see is the final product.  Great buck, enjoy.

Stud buck. Good work, Chuck.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I picked up this mount from Charlie today. It turned-out better than I imagined it would. His attention to detail, natural positioning and symmetry set him apart from most taxi's. His ability to take his customers concepts and half brained ideas and mold them in to an art piece is amazing.
Once again Charlie, I am in awe of your work and would recommend you to any body.
thanks,
Steve

Awesome buck, awesome work.   :tup:  When I first saw it, I thought it was the incentive tag buck killed a couple of years ago.  Genetics sure look the same.  Congrats Ironhead
