Spikezilla, the shoulder mount

My Dad shot this buck a few years ago on a place in
Atascosa County. He had him as a euro mount. I decided
to make a shoulder mount of the deer for him. Got the mount finished up
today and thought I would share it with the group.
The beams are about 19" long and no points. The deer was 8 1/2
years old and the place is low fenced.

WOW!

That's awesome. Kind of looks like a young axis antlers.

Very unique mount and one of the biggest spikes I have ever seen

That's cool!! Taxi did great job also

I did the shoulder mount myself. I took a class last summer and
have been doing a few for family and friends to get some practice.
Thanks for the compliment BOBO.

Cool! I wonder if he was a spike every year.

Great job on a very unique and cool animal

You did a very good job!!!

Yeah I would have mounted that in a heartbeat

Cool mount. Looks like an alien deer.

Wow. That is the biggest spike I've ever seen.

Now THATS a spike.
And good job on the taxi work.

Cool Deer and great job on the mount.

Holy spike batman!!

That photo will permanently scare STXranchman

Now that's a spike! Wow!

I seen that bucks twin hanging in a taxidermist shop over between Victoria and Goliad this year.

wow, I have land in Atascosa county, that is really cool. He would have been on my wall without a doubt!

And wide enough too! Neat!

Well played. Thoughtful gesture for you Dad.

Nice mount

Wonder if he ever gored another buck in a fight?

Nice mount and cool deer!

First Class Sir, first class. Good thing to do for your Dad and that is a trophy.

Goes to show, mass and points isn't everything.

Awesome job on the mount and Heck of a Spike!

heck of a spike

I think someone may have spiked that deers Kool-aid

Best spike kill EVER.

wow

Probably should have let it walk for another year, just to make sure it was gonna remain a spike....

THEM ARE JOKES!!!!

Great mount!

I like it.

I'm lost for words

Congrats on the mount I would have thought you had been doing taxi works for years

That'll score better than most of my bucks.

Thanks for all the positive feedback on the mount. The taxidermy is more of a hobby.
I just decided I wanted to learn how to do a shoulder mount and spent some time learning
and a little money on equipment so I could do it "right". Looking forward to the upcoming
season so I can get a few more to work on.

GOAT.

That's a heck of a spike and you did a darn fine job on the mount sir!

Great deer, great mount. Both you and your dad should be happy.
