Default New pedestal mounts....Muledeer, sheep and lynx (Picture Heavy)

Here are some photos of some pedestal mounts that just went out to clients in the last couple of weeks.

The first is for a client that is a mule deer fanatic. I have done several mule deer mounts for him in the past and he came in with this set of sheds and said that he wanted me to do something really different. He had some reference photos of how he wanted the deer itself mounted and left the rest up to me. I altered up the form to get the exact pose and look he was looking for and then added the rest.









The next is a fantastic Alberta mulie in velvet. We caught the velvet just before it was going to strip and had some challenges in preserving it but it all worked out. There are still some great mulies left in the Province.





This is just a great mule deer that we had some fun with for a client who has become a pretty good friend. He is up guiding with his brother in the Yukon right now and gets very little time to hunt for himself.......but when he does, he makes the most of it.







This is a great Alberta ram that was taken opening week of the season last year.







And finally this is a average sized lynx with an amazing pelt on him giving the finished mount a really nice look.







Hope you all enjoy.

We have some very exciting news regarding our business that we will share in the upcoming weeks so watch for that!!!

Marco

Wow! That shed mount is very cool! Not sure if I would do something like that, especially since that mule deer looked like a pig, but very cool idea!

Amazing mounts as usual

Can't wait to get my Ram back. How much more is it to put it on one of those pedestals?

Awesome Shed Mount. Love finding fresh sheds. Havent seen a mount like that before.

Might even be tempted to get one of those done in the future with some of the sheds I find.
