coueskiller Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Here she is a work in progress. This is a pedistal mount that Chris Favors of Mount-N-View Taxidermy here in Flagstaff is doing for me and it is almost complete. The velvet buck is the one I took on opening morning of the 2008 archery season. The hard horn drop tine buck is one I took 10yrs ago on a late rifle hunt. The hard horn buck was mounted 10yrs ago by another taxidermist in flag but I wanted both the big boys together so Chris is doing that for me. I can't say enough about Chris, his work is unreal and I will have him remount the droptine buck when I have the funds to do so. But for now this is what I have and I love it!! Should be done with the rock work and finish the velvet buck by mid next week and I can get them home and on the wall. Enjoy, I know I will!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coueskiller Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks guys and I will post more pics when it's done. Mr. Jonathan the key to keeping the velvet in top shape is get it cooled off and to the Taxi ASAP. I had this buck to the Taxi in about 7hrs but had it cooled off with in 3 hrs.
