Finally got my 2005 deer mount back. Had it done in a pedestal mount. Now I get to work on the pedestal. Gonna build the post out of a rubbed tree once I find the time.   Sorry about the pic of the chair; couldn't get him to stand by himself. |

Thanks guys! The domiciled unit I refer to as my wife and I are in a bit of a tussle as to where it should be placed within the house. However, I noticed that she has her eye on an expensive Coach purse.....I just may have the bargaining chip I'll need.  |

In case anyone was wondering, the mount was done by Craig Browning of Browning Taxidermy. The guy does some incredible work. In fact, as I was picking my deer up he was working on a Kudu mount for the guy who owns Scentblocker. Now that guy lives in Minnesota and to me that speaks volumes that a guy from Minnesota would send his stuff down to a guy in Indiana to do his taxidermy, especially since I would think the guy who owns Scentblocker could pick and choose among taxidermists.

Very nice mount... what do you plan on doing for the base? The base is what I'm contemplating right now. I was thinking of getting about a 6 inch cross section of a rather large tree. I'll then find a tree about 6 inches in diameter that's been rubbed. I'll freshen the rub and then cut the rub out (about 3 to 3.5 feet in length). I'm told if you cut the tree down while it's alive the bark will stay on the tree after you cut. Once I've mounted the rubbed tree to the cross-section, I'd like to hollow out the cross section somewhat and put something in there that makes it look like a scrape. Time and patience will be my limiting factors but that's my plan. |

Just another example of my ability to compromise with my wife. She wanted a cat, I didn't and now we have a cat.  |
