I've got a whitetail mount I thought I'd share with the good folks here. I did not mount it although I planned to. My friend Joel Stone of Stones Taxidermy in Leeds alabama is the very talanted artist. Joel wanted it for a competition mount. Summer killed deer with velvet antlers and typical short/patchy summer coat of hair. Tough assignment....



pedstal showing "water hole" platform, notice that the buck has mud dripping from his mouth.

best piece of whitetail taxidermy I've seen. Took second in the World Taxidermy Competition maybe two or three yars ago.

"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."

Not everyone likes those half shed haircoats, but I sure do. I really like those late summer in velvet deer. Very clean mount. Nice finish work. Was that a second in Masters or Open at the World Show?

Kind regards,

The mount looks great and the habitat/base looks great.

Joel is a good friend of mine. Done several safaris for me as well as many whitetails. He's one of the best turkey hunters I know.

Well done Joel.
