rockefeller66 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 maybe this if just me but does anyone else think that there are just some poses that fit a particular buck better than others and some that don't work for a certain buck, like my brother shot a dandy 130 typical 8 the other year and the full sneak just didn't look good on it at all so he went with the semi-sneak, me on the other hand i shot a big 147 typical 10 this year and the full-sneak just seems to make the deer look the best, maybe i am just a little biased to deer and forms but it seems to be that way for me.

Swamphunter Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: fitting poses w/ certain bucks I definitely think so. I am not a taxidermist, but whenever I go there, I make sure what ever side of my bucks antlers is most impressive, is turned for the best viewing. Like this guy..notice the antler missing the point is towards the back. This picture angle doesn't really support what I was saying, but if it was taken from directly in front of the deer, the brow tine would be visible easily.

Thayer Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: fitting poses w/ certain bucks I researched Van Dykes and will be going with a left turn offset droop to show off his drop tine on the right antler...There is definitely a pose for every buck.

fisherguy Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: fitting poses w/ certain bucks Same as swamphunter i just like to see the best attributes of a deer front and center. If a buck is summetrical and tall i love a sneak position, if it has a better left side, turn that side forward. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckNrut Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: fitting poses w/ certain bucks Swamppy is partially right. Also consider the room location. It should be out of direct sunlight, and the eyes should "move" to the center of the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitteken Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Re: fitting poses w/ certain bucks I'm getting my buck mounted this year. Is there a website that has all the different poses you can get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitRmisS Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Re: fitting poses w/ certain bucks i have the same theory as swamphunter, when i had my nine point mounted i made sure his 5 point side was facing out, the room has a lot to do with placement as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
