I'm looking to get some inspiration for a full sneak whitetail deer mount. I'm looking at Mckenzie 4600, 4000 and Ben mears offset sneak . Does anyone have photos or have anything to say about the Mckenzie or Ben Mears full sneak forms?

My son has a Mckenzie full sneak mount and we think it looks good.
I don't have any pics but if I think of it I will take one and see if I can get it to post.

Pretty sure it’s a full sneak form. I know it’s a Mckenzie form. But it get the pics started. 20 year old mount. Michigan buck, rattled him in, 10 yard bow kill.

Thanks for the photos. I'm leaning towards an offset sneak I think. Both the Ben Mears and the Joe Meder from the Mckenzi website look really good to me.

I like everything about the joe meder mount except the heads they’re long and narrow. Shot a buck with a huge head and the forms head didn’t really do him justice I’ll try to get a pic to post

I never cared for full sneaks.


But I fell in love with the Ohio Taxidermy 800 series.

I will use that form at least a few more times. I absolutely love it.

Not a traditional full sneak...but a great looking form IMO.


That was a post rut buck. That form will be awesome with a full blown rut neck I think.

Full sneak wouldn’t be my first pick for a form but if I wanted it to be perfect I’d pick Joe to do the mount.

I'm not a huge fun but they can look good. Buddy only does them if necessary because of hide damage from fighting or a bad cape job. He rarely gets request for them.

I have to ask Roundoak, is that your first and only huge buck you have killed?

I'm thinking full sneak for a few reasons. 1: I have few deer on the wall already, 3 semi sneaks and 1 upright so I'd like something different for this one. 2: In the spot the mount is going it would work better keeping the head lower.
In my searching I've come across the ben mears full sneak wall pedestal. That form has really got my attention too. I prefer the offset to straight from the wall but that wall pedestal looks really nice.

Very nice.
I’ve always favored alert and semi-alert Whitetail buck mounts.
