This mule deer is mounted on a Joe Coombs whitetail pedestal manikin: 7224 if I recall. The whitetail head was replaced with a Buckeye mule deer head, which is more anatomically correct than the McKenzie or Jonus or Research in my opinion. The taxidermist had to split the body portion to widen it, build up the brisket, and add girth to the neck where it meets the shoulder. It was a lot of extra work but since my opinion is that most every mulie manikin I've seen sucks, I went this route. I'm glad I did.

I don't shoot elk at 600 yards for the same reasons I don't shoot ducks on the water, or turkeys from their roosts. If this confuses you then you're not welcome in my hunting camp.

Thanks. One of my antelope is on a mixed mount as well....McKenzie neck and shoulder, Research manikin "heavy face Orgeon" head. My best looking one in my opinion.

Thank you. I really dig your avatar! From now on, any future mulie bucks I kill will have Buckeye manikin heads. It's the best I've seen, both US and Canadian made manikins.
