Got the call today while I was out fishing that he was ready to be picked up. Couldn't load the boat quick enough. My wife had most of the input on the specifics of the mount. Which I'm happy about because it turned out great and I couldn't be more pleased. We decided to keep him in the living quarters section of our barn. It's setup like a little cabin and it the deer really helps tie it all together.

That looks fantastic congrats. If you wouldn’t mind sharing who did it I’d love to know. The taxidermist I use is getting up in age.

Very nice! Free advise, invest in a new feather duster.

Put it in the living quarters in your house. Nah I like it here in the barn better. The living section is complete with a kitchen and it serves as my little version of "deer camp" so it's fitting .

Ky221 looks great but where is the 52" musky don't see it on the wall?... mb May find this hard to believe, but I personally don't like the look of a mounted Muskie. Or at least I've never seen a mount that I really liked. If I had to do one it would be the mount that they put in a table under glass.... but they really aren't my cup of tea. That and I've never caught a Muskie 50" or better. Not sure I've ever even seen a 50+. One fish stands out and comes to mind but I'm not sure.

Pussy whipped, my wife cusses me every time she bumps her head on my elk mount. She says I need to build a trophy room..... and make sure it has a bed in it. Nice buck.

My wife is a he'll of a woodsman and cattle women, but she only kills snakes and varmints. She has beaver, bobcat, fox, turkey, rattlesnake, fish, elk, and deer mounts in her house that she has to keep the dust off.

Nope, just a barn with a living quarters. FWIW, we are planning to open it up next year for "wedding venues". Already had the barn and property so thought we would give it a shot. Can find us on google and Facebook under "Rolling Acres Farm". Thanks for the compliments guys. It's much appreciated.
