McKenzie-brand Coues mount?

[AZ_Chris]

When I dropped my mount off this year one of the taxidermists suggested a Mckenzie mount for my buck- http://www.mckenziesp.com/Catalog35/full.asp?page=66

He said they were more of a "contemporary" style mount because there's a little more shoulder exposed than a traditional mount and you can get the forms in a couple different stages of "alertness".

The necks on them appeared thinner and more elongated too which suits the smaller Coues deer.

There were a few whitetails at the shop that had a McKenzie mounts and I thought they looked great. They looked more dynamic than the standard shop-made forms that looked a little more static to me.

Has anyone here gotten a deer done using a McKenzie form?

Some of the taxidermy suppliers are now carrying coues deer forms. Some taxidermist still use small eastern whitetail forms but they don't really have the same proportions as our coues. You can get the McKenzie forms in an offset shoulder or straight. Left or right turn. upright, semi-sneak, and you should be able to get it altered to just about any pose you like. Like hard turn, pedestal, sniffing, ect... The offset shoulder forms are great if there is damage to the hide from being drug or whatever. Just rember to cut your cape long, like at the end of the ribcage. I think you will like the McKenzie form.

Thanks for the info.

We did cut the cape really long. There should be plenty of hide to work with.

I've mounted 4 or 5 CWTer's coues bucks on these offset forms.. They look good.
