This is a mount I completed for my grandfather, he killed this deer while me and one of my brothers where with him on the last weekend of season in 2013/2014. My wife was days away from giving birth so I thought it would be neat to surprise him with a picture of her sitting on the mount almost a year to date from him killing the deer.
The pose is a McKenzine 8900 pedestal, I have shared it on here a few times but thought I would give the specific details here. I in-house tanned the cape with Krowtann whitetail formula. I send 99% of my capes off to a commercial tannery but since the cape needs to be so long on this form it was way cheaper for me to do it myself. Plus it was my grandfathers deer and completion time was irrelevant, so time was on my side.
