Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Antelope mount - yes or no?

A taxidermist suggested this style mount for my antelope.

What is your opinion?

excellent mount really like it a lot...different the normal shoulder mount

Too much in my opinion. Shoulder or Euro for me. Glad we all have choices though.

I agree....

I love pedestals, but I think it's a bit too much as well......too "busy".

I like it. Hope you have a large man cave. It takes up a lot space.

I wanted a habitat mount for my antelope but I wanted it to hang on the wall as well and this is what the taxidermist came up with. Same concept but less space.

Nice looking mount.

Yep...

Thank you, he wasn't the largest speed goat I saw on the hunt but he was the one I could find that I could use my revolver on and that my wife was with me at the time. Those were my two main criteria, not so much size. It took 19 years to draw that particular tag on the National Antelope Refuge in SE Oregon.

I think antelope are an awesome looking mount. I would suggest using a wall pedestal form for your antelope. It shows more of the shoulder and turns out from the wall very nicely. You can add habitat like above also if you like that look.

I am a fan of the shoulder mount.

I don't like it. Looks like thre taxi can't make up his mind. Either go full body mount or shoulder mount, not half ass.

It is an interesting mount and definitely not something seen every day; however,it will take up a lot of room. Personally, I prefer either European or traditional shoulder mounts but it is your mount, money and house so make yourself happy.

Yep seen one at my taxi this year, looked damn good. Upright ped

I like euro the best, if I ever get a 80” + I might head mount it.

Yes. Too much. Looks like one nailed a crippled critter, and dioramas seem to only work in museums where one has near unlimited space. Shoulder mount with perhaps a slight turn one way or another depending on where it might be displayed.

I like pedestal mounts if they are done right and not to busy. They do take up a lot of room but a wall pedestal would be nice. A good antelope makes a great mount. I like classic shoulder and Euro-mounts a lot.

I’d personally pass. It kind of looks like he went for the half body mount look and used a regular wall pedestal or floor pedestal form.

I agree. If you have a huge man cave a full body would be nice otherwise a well done shoulder mount is the way to go.
