Can anyone show me a photo of a red stag or elk in such a position?

Done a few but at AA in reno if I post a pic most likely they will sue me. I think research manakins has the best one to start with.
Just make sure you suck in the side of the mouth when you do it open it all the way, the form does need to be open more, at least I opened it more or it looks like he's reaching for a low apple.

Who knows maybe I did this one, can't say ???

but it's a lifesize

Bugling stag

Thanks Dennis. Anybody else.

Not sure if this will assist. I just got this one back from my Taxidermist a few days ago.

Very nice John.
