That's it for me and I really wish I didn't have 4. I'll only mount a mule deer, coues and C. blacktail and only one each of them. I can dig on having the deer slam to match the turkey slam.

I would hang the drop tine buck in my bathroom - that way I would have something to look at while I was a spanking it. Douchequeer Boone, you have some serious issues. You have 2 different campfire user names, your deer hunting knowledge is totally retarded, and you jack-off to an empty bathroom wall.

My wife says that I DESERVE a trophy room (read build an addition and get your crap out of the rest of the house!). I really can't argue with her though, I really do deserve one!

I really like that! I have a 16x20 ft concrete pad that used hold my dog kennels. It would be great to build something like that on it. Very fine work! believe it or not,thats exactly what my slab was before i put the roof over it .

i had the same problem, i used to add mounts to my daughters rooms until they were old enough to know that little girls rooms dont have dead animals everywhere, so i had to take over the cathedral living room (which my wife loves) i finished my basement off and that is where they are supposed to go but i like looking at them to much to put in the basement i have several more that has migrated to the basement.

This is an antler mount. I wrap them in leather, and throw them on a oak/walnut plaque. They still showcase the antlers without taking up space on the wall. The plate is not on it (goes over the screw hole). My 155inch Net 8 pointer. Was my biggest until... ...The first set of antlers in this next pic, Gross 181. Sorry, I am refinishing my man room, so there is antlers all over the place. There are more not pictured (basement, garage, etc). Another idea is to do a Euro mount (lower right corner). Women don't like them as much though.... A few more I got this year (1 bow, 1 muzzleloader) that will be antler mounts if I ever get to them.... Hope you like... joe

My 155inch Net 8 pointer. Was my biggest until... Joe, this one is unreal. A mid-150's 8 point is really something!!! I'm going to start doing more euro's in the future unless they're truly exceptional. I don't mind spending the cheddar on shoulder mounts but I've got some that were taken a number of years ago that were "big" at the time, and, now seem a little out of place compared to some of the others. They're now relegated to cabin or friend's cabin duty.

Thanks SKane. He only had 2 5/8 total deductions. I havent seen a more symetrical deer.
Shoulder mounts are cool, but people are looking at the rack anyways. Except, as a taxidermist, I find myself focusing on the rest of the mount, and I end up looking for flaws rather than the beauty of the antlers.
Someday if I get a cabin, or lofted ceiling in my house or something, it may fill up with shoulder mounts. But, until then, the antler mounts will work for me, and the Mrs doesnt mind them either.
Thanks again,
joe

Joe, the size of those mounts makes me want to tear up my 1/2 acre lot in the Twin Cities, MN and plant some corn! You IA hunters are in heaven with those whitetails and Pheasants. By the way excellant taxidermy work! Buckfever1
