The good the bad and the ugly

[EastWaViking]

Here's an idea.  Post your favorite and least favorite mount you own.  Not because of
antler size, but because of the quality of the taxidermy job.  Don't say who did the bad ones, just show us the good the bad and the ugly.

Here is mine.

The good -- Done by a Taxidermist in Spokane
It looks alive to me.

Here's the bad and the ugly-- Sort of a puppet with antlers.

A wyo Taxidermist  - What's up with the bulges under the eyes??? Looks like he went a couple rounds with Mike Tyson.

What did that whitey Score?

[Grizzly95]

All my mounts are bad....1 because I didnt shoot them....and 2 because my uncle that shot them gave them to my daughter and not to me.

Maybe. . . . just maybe I will post a picture of my first deer mount!  I am going to have to think real hard about it!

What did that whitey Score?

Never had it officially scored, I green scored it at mid 160's gross and high 140's net.

don't have a bad one. buzzy cook does all my mounts and all are UNREAL. 2 muleys 2 whitetail 2 antelope 1 6x7 bull and 2 pheasants. if you can stand the wait, the detail and life-like-ness are second to none. i always feel sick when i see a great trophy absoluty flushed down the *censored*ter cause of poor taxidermy.  i'll snap some pics when i get a chance.

+1 for Buzzy Cook at Olympic Taxidermy, he did my mule deer from last year which I still need to post photos of.  The elk he does are second to none.  I love going to his shop since you never know what is gonna be there from polar bears to arctic timber wolves.  I'll take a photo of my muley and post it tomorrow.

heres my least fav. because a week after I got it back, my dog got ahold of it.




I like this one because its a deer my dad killed in the early 70's

[Michelle_Nelson]

Thats actually a good looking mount for as old as it is.

[grizzlygibbs]

why dont you cut off the horn plate and get a nice horn mount kit for it!

[FANATIC]

I'm actually kicking around the idea of getting a cape, and shoulder mounting it.

[Antlershed]

Here's the good. Not shot by me though, but it circulates through the family. This one was done locally.






I will have to post the "ugly" later.
