Wayne, The pose is a semi-sneak. McKenzie 6900 series - IIRC.
bluecat, The taxidermist is local guy - NE WI. I'd call him an extreme hobbyist as taxidermy isn't his full-time gig.

I have a semi-sneak McKenzie on a nice MN 8 I got. It's my favorite pose. I got it because that's how he was when I shot him. yours is fantastic.
Camp is where you make it.

Love pedestal mounts and that one as well as the deer are superb examples.
Congrats Scott!

Good timing on the post. I was about to do a search for it to take a look at the hero pics of the deer.

Guess your indecision paid off. That would be a first. Thanks all. My wife doesn't exactly share the same enthusiasm. *grins* Wonderful, after you hunt a buck like that you've deserved being able to display it any way you want. It looks great to me on a pedestal.

I think it's an overall deer head thing - not so much the pedestal. She's cool with them on the lower level. I have little say on the main level, she has no say on the lower.

Awesome!!! That's a career buck over in this neck of the woods. The mount just makes it that much more special. Well done. Well done indeed.
