Antelope mount idea
- Thread starter Hilltop
- Start date
I have a couple more in the works but here are 2 that I really like. The deer is a little generic but I haven't seen this style of plaque before. He was an archery buck so my taxidermist made the plaque to fit the archery theme. The bobcat was a custom form made by my taxidermist. He was a 38 pound tom that I called in with a little hand held call a couple years ago.
I have a wood duck and a banded Canada goose being done right now. Both are custom mounts. I'll share them when I get them back...

Hilltop- thanks again for sharing. I like the "arrowhead-ish" plaque. And the tom is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the waterfowl.

If you happen to freeze the antelope head, take it out and put the head down inside a 5-gallon bucket to thaw for a day or two. Be careful to not let the sun and/or heat get close to the head, as it will spoil the meat, and make the process much less enjoyable. Keeping the head in a garbage bag, inside a cooler with ice is best.
Just an idea, if you skin out the heads and cape , it would probably paid for your euro's. Taxidermists buy capes all the time and some will just trade you a euro for your cape. I love the one on the left and that is the one I would of taken if all 3 were together... This is my latest.

Holy crap, that is one of the best Bobcat mounts I've seen. Usually the face gets messed up.

If anyone is interested, I use Blue Hill Taxidermy in Blue Hill Nebraska. He is a world champion taxidermist. His little shop if full of awards that he has won. I wouldn't take a trophy anywhere else... His prices are a little above the norm but not much. He is worth the extra money in my opinion.
