Finished mounts....not to bad...kurts buck is a beast!!!!! Just the overall size of the body is impressive.
I'm extremely happy with the way my buck turned out! I pretty much mounted it my self besides some minor detail he help me with. if I had a question he was there to help. I'm really looking forward to mounting my gun buck

Well just mounting him today it took me from 5:30am 430pm with an hour lunch mixed in ..lol I'm sure that time will get less and less the more deer I mount. It's definitely something you cannot Rush if you have no patience do not get into taxidermy! Lol

Looks Nice.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
