Had Kelly mount up an 8 point my dad shot back in 01, we caped it out and put it in the freezer, 2 weeks later my grandpas deep freeze went out, ruining everything.. I called kelly up and ask him if he had a cape and he did, I took the antlers to him the last week in july, and he has already got it mounted, its not done cause it has to dry and have painting done.. but it turned out awesome.. Had him do an agressive pose with his ears back.. looks like he's pissed off..   |

I think my next one will be mounted with the lip curl like the one next to yours. That is an awesome mount.

I need to ask him how much extra it is for the lip curl, It does look good.. His work gets better with every year of experience.. hell when you mount 60 deer in a season and have them all done by the spring time, thats sayin' somthing.. The part that holds other taxidermists up is the tanning, he can tan one in like 4 hours with that tumbler, where it takes almost a week for regular tanning.. once you get it tanned you can mount it in a half a day..
I used to help my grandpa all the time.. he was a taxidermist in perkins.. he wasn't as good as kelly though..lol

Let me know when you find out how much a lip curl is. I am going to do that on my next mount.

thinking about having it done on a pedestal, too. Always liked the looks of that and when my new girl moved in she brought a stone pillar with her that would be perfect with a fat set of horns on it.

That would look good to. I seen one the other day that was on a wood fence post. It looked realy nice. I always liked the ones mounted on a log with some greenery around it to.

But that would mean I have to move another girl in with a fence post, and another girl with a log, and another girl with greenery. Don't like that idea much at all, and I'm pretty sure she won't either.

I don't think you would like the one with the greenery but if you want the torch back to get the other items you can have it.

Keep it, NJ. It burns ya every chance it gets.
I did see the one he mounted on a pedestal. That's one of the reasons I want one now.
