[apoallo]

I spoke with the taxidermist today about my first mature buck from opening day 2012. He recommended the 6900 series from mckenzies taxidermy supply. The pictures look great. anybody have one of these?

[apoallo]

I like the 6900 form that was my first choice for my big ten this year but I changed my mind and went with the 6500 very similar just a slightly harder head turn on the 6500. The taxidermist is doing a ton of custom work to the form too. He is cutting the head off and tilting it up a few inches and doing a lip curl on him since thats what he was doing behind a doe when I shot him. He is also building a wall habitat around him and the empty slug shell along with the slug that killed him will be in the habitat since I recovered it inside him. He had the cape rushed back from the tannery so he csn get the mount done before the northeast taxidermy show this spring ao he csn show it I csnt wait to see it. He is also cutting the muscles in the form deeper to show them better
