I don't care for the open mouth mounts. Something looks off. Maybe it's just me.

I am not a fan of open mouth Whitetail mounts but have to say the one with the ear of corn is awesome.

Open mouth mounts seem to dominate taxidermy contests because these masters of the trade want to show off their talents and add as much workmanship as possible for the judge to look over.

That makes a lot if sense. I can see how it would be more difficult to do and how it shows off the work. Those are obviously tremendously talented people. I just wouldn't choose those poses for one if my own deer. |

Well....it's certainly normal for a deer to open it's mouth at times. These mounts started out as fleming poses and have evolved to what you see now. Most people that have them, tire of the standard poses that they already have several of.

I definitely agree that doing a mount where the taxi has to alter a mannikin and do a open mouth shows his abilities and can earn him a higher place finish but I just would not care to have most of them hanging on my wall.

I agree the open mouth mounts look funny. They look like they are laughing or talking. The one with the ear of corn I am sure took alot of work but it does not look right either just having a shoulder mount suspended in the air. Something like that should be a full body mount. Just my opinion.

Looks to be the best of the best.. great work..
Open mouth is different but after 20 or so mounts some folks look for something different.
Of course these were competition mounts and "different" helps a lot in winning..
Woodmaster practice mounted one in the phlegm postion some time back. It was a nice rack that I found in Canada while bear hunting. He did a pretty good job on it using a cape from another deer. I had it on the wall for a couple years and then ran out of room so something had to go.. I ended up selling it on eBay for a couple hundred dollars..
