What Form????

My last was a sneak and it's my favorite out of the batch. I do want a pedestal at some point, but the sneak or semi-sneak will be the go-to from here on out.

Jessie thanks for the link... Right now I'm leaning towards the semi-sneak.... Gotta mix it up a little as I have about 10 upright mounts.... I also would like a pedestal mount and was thinking about that... But I do have a full size black bear mount with his front feet on a rock wall so this takes up some floor space... Decisions, decisions....

I’m getting my first one ever done, he was going to do a pretty wild mount as I told him to just have fun with it. But I called him today and said I wanted a full sneak. It’ll hopefully be the centerpiece of many more to come.
I’ve read some bad reviews on this pose, but I saw him and killed him in that position. And when it went to the first taxi, that’s what I wanted done.
If you have a bunch in upright already, why the change? I’d want it to look uniform myself.

Nobody wants a room full of mounts that are all on the same form, facing the same way. Excited to see how yours turns out. Which buck is it?
21...
If I had 10 bucks already mounted upright, I’d stick with upright. That’s what I meant.

I don’t have any pics on this phone. He’s that wide buck I killed, 21” inside. Wide with those real short tines...all main beams. Ric scored him but I don’t remember what he was 135-140?

I’ve had mounts done upright, semi sneak, full sneak, right turn, left turn, etc. one of my favorites Is a full turn shoulder (looks similar to a pedestal mount without the pedestal). I had one done with a right turn and one with a left turn and placed them on either side of the fire place....I call them “bookends”. I always try to find a pose that I don’t already have, as after you get a few with the same pose, they seem to all look alike. Every hunt and memory is different, so I try to make the mounts different too.

I think the bookends would be perfect in your situation....you have 2 bucks that you’re getting done at the same time, now you just need to find the best spot to hang them. I’d like to see the finished product when you get them back.
