PotashRLS Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice buck but that seems like a pretty fast turnaround. How is the quality around the nose, eyes and ears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice buck but that seems like a pretty fast turnaround. How is the quality around the nose, eyes and ears? Very happy with the eyes, nose and mouth. Not totally tickled with the cape around the burrs. Could be the deer, don't really know, but the hair is kind of up over the burr. No biggie. Kyle does a good job. He only takes 25 a year, and tans his own hides, that's why he gets them done so fast. I was #8 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Primetime/IL Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Looks great from what I can tell, a close up of the eyes & nose would be better to tell the overall quality. Id assume u paid in the 350-400 ballpark?? As for the hair over the burrs...that is the way its supposed to be and any good taxidermist will tell you look at reference photos from deer, the hair is not flush with the base. Also it looks like a MCK6500 semi sneak, that is McKenzie's most popular form and my favorite;) Im getting my 08 12pt mounted on the same form, except left turn Edited February 18, 2009 by Primetime/IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id assume u paid in the 350-400 ballpark?? Kyle charges $325. You'll have to wait for those close ups, lol. He's not up for evaluation to be honest, I'm happy, that's all that matters I guess.

Tominator Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Looks good Chris. Bruno was the one with the shaggy cape wasn't he? Shaggy? Hmmmm, don't know about shaggy. Bruno is the one on the left. I shot him in late December, so yeah, his cape was real beat up and in rough shape having weathered the rut. The taxidermist wasn't as good either. You have to look close, but the area around the throat isn't the greatest on Bruno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the other mount that you had on the wall when we were there had a prettier cape on it, pretty sure we talked about how "shaggy" or rough looking bruno's cape was.
