For a Blacktail I would be a monster in my book in Washington I would love to get a buck like that every year

The mount is what does it, you gave him attitude!!

[BlackRiverTaxidermy]

Pose is a 'Semi Sneak w/Slight Right Turn'. The ears back really make the difference in the mount. Most customers don't have a preference about the ears and "leave it up to you" with me...which I love. When the project is almost complete one of the last things I do is set the ears....this gives me the ability to see what looks best based upon the horn configuration and 'look'. You can really narrow down a rack or accentuate it based upon the ear position. The eyes are also a big factor. I opened his eyes up in the front a little for a more focused look which gives him that attitude. The customer said when he found the buck it was chasing a doe pretty hard while trying to keep his attention on another doe and never even paid attention to the hunter. Thank you for the compliments!
