Guest Scraper Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 the first series of pictures is my 162" Buck that I harvested on Camera for a local TV Hunting Show which aired on our local TV network. My buddy owns/operates Eastern Outdoors TV. Parkersburg, WV This buck is semi-sneak with a Right Shoulder offset and open mouth. This second buck is one that I harvested in WV a 2 years ago. I shot him with my .338 Ruger on the Saturday of teh First week of season. Note the tall tines and width, but no bow tines. My local Taxidermist said that he saw many deer that year without Brow tines. This buck is semi-sneak slight right turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Re: 2 of my Deer mounts awesome buck. I would take him to your taxi-man and have him re-paint the inside of the ears white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scraper Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Re: 2 of my Deer mounts After looking back at my harvest pictures, my deers inner ears were not white, but rather beige looking, I wonder if it was due to the fact that he was harvested in mid-september? This taxidermist is a 30+yr award winning artist that does not use ear liners. I have never really paid attention, but I will look at the ears on mounts.

artisticwhitetails Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Re: 2 of my Deer mounts [ QUOTE ] After looking back at my harvest pictures, my deers inner ears were not white, but rather beige looking, I wonder if it was due to the fact that he was harvested in mid-september?

[/ QUOTE ] That's because a deer inner ear is not white! A live deer will have an ear color ranging from fleshy pink to a brighter pinkish red depending on mood and season. Of corse, the more hair inside the ear the whiter it will look at anytime. The inner ear looks white/greyish after harvest because there is no longer blood pumping to the area. Same thing with the interior nasal areas. It looks to me that no finish work was done to the ears in your first mount, so what your seeing is the dry tanned skin on top of the Bondo. The fact that someone is an award winning taxi with 30 years experience usually means little when it come to commercial work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scraper Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: 2 of my Deer mounts Like I said, i shot this on video which aired on TV. We took the deer we harvested to shows for promotion of the show. The color of the ears is not that prominent as it is being shown on camera. Granted the ears are not white inside, but they are not as beige looking as they appear to be in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Re: 2 of my Deer mounts Nice mounts, don't think I've ever seen one with the open mouth. You should now invest in a "Grill" for his teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
