Fresh Whitetail mount Charlies Taxidermy
« on: December 08, 2008, 04:43:32 PM »
Here is a pretty cool whitetail my buddy killed last year, I finally found a form that he liked. I just mounted this buck 2 days ago so there is absolutely no finish work done, it is drying as we speak! I really liked the mount so I thought I would share with you all! I will post pics in a month or so when it is finished  ;)

Looks awesome even if you haven't done any detail work yet. The way the hide bunches at the base of neck really sells it. I've got a nice whitetail I regret not having mounted and I might just have you do the same thing if I shoot another decent one to steal the hide from. Thanks for sharing.

I think Bearhunter had a whitetail cape FS on here, why not do it now?

thats a pretty neat form...  do you mind telling me what it is? or is that a taxidermy secret?

Seems like all the Taxis on the E Coast like Joe Meder forms in a semi-upright...gotta fight em to do anything else...

I think i like the wrinkles there a lot!

now I just need a fat ass buck too have ya mount up like that...lol

Those Meder forms suck!  JMO, necks are short and the shoulders dont look right to me. Meder heads are OK though. Thats a Matt Thompson form by the way.

Yes Michelle it is a wall pedestal.
