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.

Perfect! I love it when you get something that just looks "right" on the wall rather than an art production. Beautiful...

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
