Pedestal Mount

[buffybr]

Personally, I can do without the fake habitat bullshit attached to mounts. Serious dust catchers that are seriously difficult to clean

I agree with you up to a point. Sometimes the fake habitat can be too much and it takes away from the mount. Other times the lack of habitat materials makes the mount look too sterile.

Here is my Texas Aoudad mount as it came from my taxidermist.

I think that it looked too sterile, so I added some habitat materials,

Helluva antelope. I’ll never do another pedestal. Take up way too much room.

The wall pedestals are sweet. Good choice. You won’t be disappointed.

SwaggyD, are you a politician?

Here’s one that doesn’t take up much room. The top one is on the wall.

SwaggyD, are you a politician?

Probably should be. Not a taxidermist so I don’t know why they call them wall “pedestal” mounts. But the base for most pedestal mounts are way too big for my liking.

Here's a photo of an antelope wall pedestal my taxidermist completed for me.

Love the wall pedestal mounts! Thinking of doing that with my goat from this year.

Got my mount back!! Really happy how it turned out. Glad you guys talked me into the wall pedestal style, works great in a corner!

Very nice in a corner! Works very well filling that space next to the door. What does the mounting hardware look like? The other wall looks a bit barren. Any plans for that? I suggest a nice wildlife print. Here's a few suggestions.

Oh don't worry my wife has plenty of other regular decor on that wall too ha!

I essentially made a shelf in the corner to square up the mount how i wanted and get to the studs. Stained it so it doesn't have the plain wood look although most of it is covered anyways.

That is one dandy of a speedgoat!

Really like how you used the shelf to place him in the corner. Great way to use the short wall.

Curious roughly what the measurement from brisket to top of skull is on the form.

I have a Wedge shaped wall above the header going into my kitchen and I'd contemplated whether a wall pedestal would hug the wall but not be too tall

Looks great. What did it tape out at?

I love the trophy doe.

This one is about 22-23" hard to get a good measurement

Was almost 81 green (I did that one myself though.) and ended up 77 4/8 after the dry time. So technically missed the book but thats alright. Most likely as close as I will ever get around here

Nice mount and great buck

 

[Basquehunter]

Beautiful buck sir. This was my pedestal from my buck last year.

Good buck and a nice looking mount. Most of my pedestal mounts don't have any habitat. I like the way you have yours.
