I picked up my whitetail mount from last year a few weeks ago while in Illinois from Smith's. When I first dropped off my deer last year, I thought he had a bit much going on and I was a little unsure, but after seeing they work they produced and options, I felt my mount was in good hands. I have to say, they where very proactive with the process and even sent a pre-pick up photo to insure I was happy. ( 1st photo on the left ) You can see where the buck had a white spot at the bottom of the base on the right. After I shot him, he ran right into a tree and busted that base up a bit.
I mentioned it and they asked if I wanted it dressed up, and well, I went for it and it looks great. Just a little stain to hide the white.
Here is a photo right after shooting him, then the mount before pick up and then on the wall. I think they are very close.
One of the cool features is I also opted for a extension swivel bracket that moves the mount off the wall, second photo.
This one of my favorite mounts. The taxidermist had contract work with exotics and not taking whitetails at a great volume any longer. Plus he's aging. He was a great taxi. Glad I got my largest done by him.
Troy just wow!
Bake... is the velvet the actual or spray on ?
