Brambles 2005 Whitetail Mount

[Brambles]

Just got these photo's from the Taxidermist

This is the whitetail I shot in 2005, took me a while to get off my ass and send it out to get mounted but after I got my 1/2 lifer Goat mount back I really got motivated to get the whitey done.

This is shortly after he finished putting the cape on the form, so its still very wet and with no touchups so I can only imagine how good its gonna look after its all done and the makeup is on:biggrin:

Now I gotsa get meself a decent Mulie to mount:D

thats a wicked lookin buck, looks really good

[ElkMasterC]

Beautiful buck, Brambles... awesome tine length !

Why would you hesitate to mount a beauty like that? I would have driven to the taxidermist's on my way home from the hunt.

Lemme guess.......Clearwater?

Same taxidermist that did my 1/2 lifesized goat.

Not really sure why I waited this long, I guess I had aspirations of mounting him myself, but a British Columbia buck of this caliber doesn't come around very often.

Clearwater....hhmmmm well if I said Clearwater then no one would believe me. Only big mulies come from there. This was a West Kootenay buck, which to me, makes him even more special. I shot him at 36 yards in the thick timber.

[slyfox]

That,s an awesome whitey love to have him on the wall whats the score on him reg 4 buck.

[Maxx]

Well done, that is an AWESOME mount, congrats to you!!

[Rackmastr]

[mcrae]

[kootenayelkslayer]

Wow awesome buck Brambles, especially for a W.kootenay whitetail. That's one to be proud of!

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Tell your taxi to skip his makeup.....We'll put in on in the Loops:-D.
I've always wanted to be a makeup artist:redface:.

Looks Great, B!!

Hopefully, I can nail one like that someday. I know they are around here....somewhere.

Yeah my wife is wondering where we're going to put him too, she got a little moody when she found out I was having another animal mounted before the home renovation. Apparently she doesn't listen to me when I talk, so she missed the part when I told her about it months ago.:roll:

I got lots of places in the house picked out, shouldn't be a problem finding a good spot for him.8-)

[goatdancer]

Nice deer. Now when you renovate, you can add a special room for all your critters.

Very nice Buck, and the work your Taxi did looks great too.
Congrats on a good BC W/T

By the way I have been admiring your avtar, got any bigger pic's of the
mount of a good Billy. I've wanted the 1/2 mount Billy on the ledge looking down, triangular rock corner ledge, very cool too.

Great way to enjoy those special hunts over and over !

Same taxidermist who did this goat mount for me also did the whitetail.

Now after that comment I'm going to make sure he doesn't come out of the crate until he gets home.

He who touches the whitetail mount gets paid back 100 fold.8-)
You don't wanna smell what the Rock is Cookin......:wink:

[cainer]

Great cage on that Whitey-I agree-you definitely need a Giant Mulie to accompany him.

[guest]

Beauty pic's of the Goat too,
Looks like nice work, there is one pose very simular to that with 1 hoof over the ledge the other under his belly. Great way to present these magnificent creatures.

Last time I looked it was a 5x6:razz:

I could tell you where I shot it but it would be a lie.;)

[quackquackbang]

Nice mount!!!

[d6dan]

Oops! My mistake. Need another coffee to wake up. Did you score him yet?.

Last I heard there wasn't an ungulate left in the W.Koots.........:redface:

Big die off after 2005, not much left. Thats why I shoot all my deer in Clearwater now:smile:

[Brambles]

Didn't concentrate too much on the score, he's pretty uneven side to side. I grossed him just after he was shot at Just over 161". Inside spread is just under 15", Longest tine is 11.5" Mainbeams are right around 24".

[Jelvis]

Nice lookin buck mount-I hope it stays good for five decades. Ears are big for a whitey hey, it looks fantastic. Nice whitetail buck for sure. Congratulations on a lifetime whitetail buck that looks excellent.
Jelvis--I want a whitetail now! lol.

[Rattler]

Great looking mount!

That is one hell of a whitetail for the West Kootenays.

[GoatGuy]

That's what I figured.

[Islandeer]

Nice animal. I can picture it,sneaking or leaning on a tree in the thick stuff, movement,wholly crap,heart pounding,a little shakey,lean on that tree and bear down,find that throat patch or boiler room patch, squeeze, boom!! More heart pounding and a few war whoops ... Nice! :smile:
