I finished this euro mount muntjac this weekend. It was one of the muntjacs I shot on the AR hunt last time around. My hope is to improve on this one in March

Anders,

Very Nice!

If it had two horns antlers you could hang 2 jackets instead of 1 or one jacket & 1 hat ......

Get her! Did you cut yourself on your claws this morning Sexy Spice?

Very cool Anders, I like the cross between the traditional Euro mount and what appears to be a Scandinavian light fitting!

Ignore the nasty comments by the Munchen-Muntjac-Misser, that's a fine trophy when it comes round to telling the story of how you got it.

In the words of some other Norwegians I got pie-eyed with recently:

See you soon bud, I expect to sing the above song many times on the weekend!

Amir

Is this displayed in your new, luxury trophy room??

- mike

Ikea trophy mount?

OK, that is Sweden....

I'm not shooting unless it got two horns next time Gerry!

Looking forward to sing along, Amir! Norwegians got a great taste for music. Our song this year is of similar quality. 0 points this time as well, I hope

It sure is Mike.

I've had several friends who tought I'd made a lamp with IKEA ideas. Strange. I can't understand why

So is that your new nickname?

Anders "Two Horns" Mossing.

K

Reminds me of a guy I went to school with; lost his left nut in an accident when he was 8 or 9 years old. Known from thence-forward as "Aidy-one-ball"...

Unfortunate cohort, weren't you...

Hey man that song is a legend, I saw it in the film "the thing" and asked a few mates what it was called and so on. turns out to be a pretty much perfect drinking song, I'll teach you the terraces interpretation of the "Samiid Aednan" bit if you explain to me what the "Lo ye le-lo-lo" bit is about, ok?

I didn't say it was an Ikea lamp, I just noted the instinctive Scandinavian design influences, which may I just say work very well with the general decor of the room, inherent in the modern update of the traditional European Skull mount.

Well according to Gerry, anders dresses on either the left or the right but not both.

How about Anders "A-little-to-the-left" Mossing?

Good nickname, guys! It definetly could have been worse.

I'll be the interpreter, Amir. But if I'm supposed to see difference between one and two-horned muntjacs I can't drink tooooo much

Btw, it was Brian who brought up the IKEA thing, not you this time.

Anders

Nice trophy what ever they say

Should have gone to spec savers

Anders I know you were very keen to get a Muntjac Buck and I know how tricky they are to find clear of cover however......


It may have been better to wait for it to clear cover rather than shooting the only bit of him you could see (The Left Antler) to stun it before diving out of the highseat knife between your teeth to deliver the Coup de grâce.

Well that was the way Amir told it.

Dave,

He only 75% stunned it...

Anders, I checked the photos of the finished room over on the Trophy Room forum. Just superb! Well done, mate!

I always thought Deer had Antlers not Horns, but you know me, Picky Picky Picky

Did you really knife this one, Anders? You never told :-) Like the mount, though!

Haven't you learned not to listen to Amir, Dave?

Yeah, most of them do, Bill. But this muntjac had horns. Strange!

First rule at the European part of the forum. Trust nobody!

Dude you've been had, you shouldn't have Trusted Dave, particularly as he made it all of the above up!

It might look a bit like something from Ikea , but I like it
Really shows both the antler(s) and the teeth well.

Questions from the clueless: do muntjac shed (and regrow) their antlers like other deer species?? And if they do, do the new antlers grow under a cover of skin (velvet), which is rubbed off when antler growth is complete??

If they do, then muntjac have antlers (i.e. bone growth) as opposed to "horns" - although it is common to see this - slightly incorrect - designation used for antlers...

- mike

Mike,

Yes they do shed then regrow under velvet.

Thanks Kiri, one learns stuff here all the time

- mike

Nice one and great canine teeth too!

I got my buck in a tea plantation where I worked in 1983.
