Howdy. I got this deer in our early muzzleloader season in late Oct and got it back from the taxidermist yesterday. He did a great job and talk about fast. He did one for me last year and i had it back in 5 months. It's not a biggin but it's my first 8 with the muzzleloader so i had to have it mounted . If anybody that's in my area needs a great reasonably priced taxidermist i would highly recomend this man. Ricks taxidermy 410-392-5912 in Cecil Co MD.

Do you need tanned or green hides that are salted and frozen?

Sending you a PM as well

Looks nice and right at HOME !

That looks pretty good. Man they got it done fast, was it a full tan or that cream stuff they rub on it? My deers hide wont even be back from the tanner until next month ... after that I'll choose the pose / form and it will be done a month or two after. I havent seen this past years antlers since the day after I shot it LOL.

Anyway yes I agree your mount looks nice. What do they charge for such a mount?

Howdy Dalan. It's a full tan, he does all his own tanning. I think thats one reason he can do them so fast. A full shoulder mount is $380.00 most guys in this area are $425.00 or better. The pose I picked was a semi sneak looking left. He was doing a 300lb standing black bear when i picked up my head (I'd sure like to have one of those ) one of these days

My brother who does taxidermy had me come over yesterday to pick my form for my deer... I went with Alert turned left. I'm excited he finally got the cape back and to the stage of ordering forms... he has a few more mounts to finish up before he can do mine but I'm excited.

You have something to be excited about buddy that's one fine deer ya got.
Joe

Very nice picture! You did very well. What muzzleloader did you use? All the best...
