RE: My 2003 mount is back !!!!!
I'm still waiting for one I dropped of in November of 2002. I'll probably be on Social Security before I see the one from 2003. [:'(]
Oh well. The taxidermist is a nice guy and does great work. No rush, I suppose.

Jimbo, sorry it took so long for me to reply, the mount on my buck is the newest form Dan Chase has out, it has 4 more inch of shoulder on it , he just released this form on Nov 15th. My taxidermist had it on a flyer he received and I said let's do it, the form is the biggest looking mount I have ever seen and you must realize mine is on a 22inch neck. The head detail is excellent and I really like the detail of the muscle but I don't think a short haired- early season buck will look natural with all that extra. It has about the same look as a 6400 Mckenzie just better.

RE: My 2003 mount is back !!!!!
Thanks for the reply highbow- you're right. A slender, early-season buck would not look so good on that form. That's a heck of a neck! Somebody posted a pic of their mount late last fall, and it had the extra chest that yours does... I'm pretty sure it was the same model. You might remember it- it was an aggressive pose...
BTW, I got my mount back yesterday... I posted it on the deer hunting forum last night. I think it turned out nice.
