Had my first solid buck remounted, got it back
« on: July 19, 2024, 05:30:19 AM »
Picked him up from Jacob at Frontier Wildlife Studios yesterday. The old mount was split at the nose and had a 1" split where the cape is sewed at the back of his neck. Love this pose and couldnt be happier how it turned out. Shot him up the North Fork of the Teanaway

Im old LOL. Pretty sure it was 1982. I killed a 27" 3 pt on the same ridge the year after that was the biggest bodied buck I have ever killed. Teanaway was really good in the 80's

It'd be worth writing the newspaper if you saw a buck like that up there these days  :chuckle:

Who did your taxidermy? I have a mount I never liked and am starting to think about having it redone.

The first sentence of the original post names the taxidermist.

Yes it did, thanks. There was a picture of a really big buck right next to the verbiage. Was I really supposed to read and retain anything when looking at the picture? C'mon!

Excellent taxi work!  What a great buck!
