BizCT Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Picked up my mount today from Kevin’s Taxidermy in Connecticut. First time using him and I’m really happy with the work. I found him through the Bowsite forum where I noticed a bunch of people use him. He told me today he does around 300 Whitetails per year. Pics attached from his shop. That’s one wall of 3 with bucks still to do. He said he basically works 12-14 hours per day 5 days a week through July to finish them all.

wolc123 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 That is an excellent mount. The eyes look just right. That seems to be the most difficult part of making a realistic looking mount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BizCT Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Do you remember what they call that pose? Unlike in years past with other taxidermists, i actually did not pick a specific mount this time. I just told him I wanted Semi turned Right with Ears back and let him do what he felt was best Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I really like that. Doesn't have that straight up stiff pose. You def got a good mount at a good price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robhuntandfish Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Nice bunch of mounts biz. The mountain lion is amazing. Nice mulies too. You def needed a white tail for the wall living on the east coast. You better build on before your stone sheep hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNY Bowhunter Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 No offense but I can't believe that one guy does 300 deer in 10 months. That's one a day every day over this span. This doesn't include form and cape prep and finish work. He also must tan all 300 hides too. Just doesn't add up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
