Big alberta buck

[nube]

Hey guys, I have been doing some taxidermy work with a friend of mine who has taught me. I did my deer from 2 years ago and finally got him up on the wall. He scored 175" the first time I scored him and I scored him later after he shrunk at 173 and 6/8. Surprised they shrink so much.
Here you go!!!

Nice work! It looks great keep it up

Awesome buck! Great work too.

Yep great job and very nice buck!

Never been a fan of full sneak mounts but I really like how that turned out. I think it must be that it's a basket rack that makes it look so good in sneak. Great job! Deers a stud!

Whopper of a buck, and really nice work.
I would like to make one suggestion though. Next time you go to Alberta, bring your coat.

I'd be happy to have that mount on my wall (regardless of size). Looks great.

I actually live here so it doesn't get to me like it would you boys. It usually gets to -40 here every year at least for a few days. Now that is when you need a jacket!!:hump:

Thanks for the comments on the deer guys. I did the full sneak because I have a bunch of other big bucks on the wall and you kind of get tired of the same old left and right semi sneek turns if ya know what I mean. Time to try something different. Not sure what I will do on the next one. Any sugestions are welcome

Great job on a nice, heavy buck!!! You mentioned shrinkage and 1 1/4" shrinkage really isn't bad at all IMO.

He sure has some great mass. Very nice deer.

Nice looking mount on a great buck - you gotta love those heavy horns

Ditto the good comments. Try a mount with the buck rubbing a tree. I had my brother have one of his blacktails done that way and it turned out good.

Great buck and superb taxi work! I've always that that mounting your own would be a great way to complete the hunting endeavor.
