I can't find the picture but my Taxidermist had a giant buck(the guy shot it at Sanctuary in Michigan) jumping reared on hinds and with front legs curled.
The client build a 2 story game room the size of a gymnasium,walls studded and covered with 3/4" plywood then drywall,so he didn't have to find a stud for hanging all his mounts
On the upper balcony he was putting 2 fully mounted doe,another big buck and a barbed wire fence with the buck leaping over it.
It was an outstanding mount and in that application very cool
In my house not so much i saw the same pic you are talking about. it was a very nice mount.those full body mounts are such dust collectors . they need to be cleaned often. shoulder mounts are bad enough to keep clean. The issue to me with full body, is keeping the base clean when its a 'natural' base. The mount, no big deal, its no worse than wiping 3 or so shoulder mounts, and since its full deer and not 1/3 of the deer that makes total sense.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

A few years ago my kids got me a Marshall Designs Trophy Duster for Christmas. Easy peasey.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

I like life-size mounts but the laying down deer is not my favorite pose (nor is it for most other animals).
Shoulder mounts make up the majority of my trophy room with a couple life-size animals. There are some animals that I think make a really great skull mount (like a roan), but I have yet to be able to bring myself to have an animal done that way. I just love to see all the markings on the fur. I suspect the euro mounts will happen sometime sooner than later for me though as space is rapidly becoming limited in my little trophy room.
If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ...
