Lunatic Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) So look at the picture of my mount. I am very unhappy with the pose selection. To me it is all about displaying the antlers and all I am looking at is this buck's white throat patch. I can't see any details on his antlers and in fact I really see very little of it. So I was thinking about a full sneak but then this maybe even worse.? Sure the head and the antlers will be lower but the chin will be up, pushing the antlers back and more out of sight. What looks nice is Euro display with the nose completely down, see the other pic but I don't see a form like this and am not sure if the mount would look stupid even if the form existed. So help me out here. You know what I am looking for. Do you have something up on the wall, not eye level, to give me what I am looking for? Edited February 9, 2021 by Lunatic
Tuck Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I think you just need to drop the mount lower on the wall and move it toward the left side of the room. You can hang one of your new ones in that spot!!!!
Tuck Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 If you wanna keep him there,maybe an aggressive look mount?? Lunatic 1
electric10162 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 How about a pedestal mount like Jack has for his monster? @JHbowhunter

Deerslayer21 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I have a full sneak and I dont like it at all. I can take a pic of it later if you want. I think tuck is right try moving it to eye level and i think youll have a different perspective. electric10162 1
electric10162 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I have a pedestal mount form that goes on the wall. I think Jack had one of these too. John Noon in Sussex did the mount.
tpr1921 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Semi-sneak left mount. Top of forehead from floor is 6'-4" electric10162 and Lunatic 2
JHbowhunter Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 4 diff looks to to consider. Left to right. Semi- sneak wall pedestal. Aggressive look-down. Semi upright slight look-down. Full sneak. electric10162 1 Nothing spooks deer more than my stank… 16 3/4” Live Fluke Release Club I shot a big 10pt once….
JHbowhunter Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Trying a BOSS wall pedestal on my latest buck... Do not have one of these... My current wall pedestal is Mckenzie.. https://www.taxidermyarts.com/c-624-boss-wall-pedestal-series-900.aspx all of these semi-uprights out of McKenzie - some have slight look-down to them... https://www.mckenziesp.com/Semi-Upright-C22.aspx for even more "looking down options" and getting more aggressive, check out the specialty forms: https://www.mckenziesp.com/Specialty-C42.aspx Edited February 9, 2021 by JHbowhunter electric10162 1 Nothing spooks deer more than my stank… 16 3/4” Live Fluke Release Club I shot a big 10pt once….

hammer4reel Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Imo , semi sneak poses by far show off the deer the best . as has been said , height of the deer on the wall also changes the view . lower just shows the deer better than looking up at them . _X7 1
