NS whitetail Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I hope that whoever did that isn't proud of it :eek: it's one heck of a buck though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Primetime/IL Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I do remember seeing that mount, unfortunately that was just one of the many poor taxidermy jobs there. Look how far down the ear butts are and the ears are nearly fanned completely out:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotashRLS Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 If that were my deer and I walked into my taxi's shop all excited on the day to pick him up and saw that, I would come unglued:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTPROFamily Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Do you think that this is the mount that he picked out? Randy always chooses his mount from a book before the work is done. Maybe he thought it was funny! I think that it is awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 OK, it looks like poor taxidermy. No question. But can it be just a genetic defect and the buck had ears that were not normal? I mean even some people have ears that look like they don't belong. Do we know for sure it is just bad work? Just look at all them splits in the tines, it was not normal/typical to begin with.

buckee Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 It was most likely a novice taxidermist's first mount. Sure is an awesome buck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 its a jackdeer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 This is one of the most noticeable and most common mistakes in taxidermy work, although this one is very exaggerated. The ears butts should have significant muscling and you should - maybe - be able to fit your index finger between the ear and the antler. To avoid disappointment when shopping for a taxidermist, pay special attention to this feature (as well as many others - look at lots of good work, photographs, and live deer to gain a critical eye). The deer in question has had the cape positioned way too low and it may even be too large for the form; hard to tell from the picture.

OJR Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 It looks like it could be a cross between a mule deer and a whitetail. I have seen a few of them and they sure look weird. Also look at the split tines off of the main beam! That looks like a mule deer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 That does look a lot different than most,we shouldnt judge it from just looking at it without the whole story.It may have a good reason for being that way,you would not want someone ragging on your kids first deer that way ,or the first mount you tried yourself now would you.I have seen better work but at least someone had the gumption to give it a try,I know not to post pics if I try to do one myself.

wtnhunt Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 That is different. Have never seen ears on a deer like that on a mount or a live deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOYTnMUZZYboy Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Never seen anything like that b4. Be curious to hear the story behind this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 That sure is odd looking, never seen a deer with ears like that...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
