Got a mule deer mount back! Done by Dan Vanzanten, Glacier Mtn Taxidermy in Cranbrook. Very happy with the job he did on it, lots of detail and great facial features.

Excellent mounts and fantastic work done by the taxi! And by the way, nice bucks! Motovation is right to get out there and put a wall hanger on the ground.

Like them both. Now all you need is a drop tine mulie to complete your collection.

Looks Awesome, Bruin!!

Make sure you save some room on your walls for when your resident sheep hunting career begins!!

Thanks guys. The price was high due to a couple of things, one was that the cape was quite large and hard to find a manikin for, plus he had to do a fair bit of molding for the pose. It was $800 total. I always figure I'll pay extra for good work if I'm going to stare at it for the next 20 years! I rough scored the deer at 204" gross I believe.
SSS, by the time I start killing sheep for myself I hope to have a bigger wall! I'm no Kootenay Elk Slayer!

Great mounts Bruin, he did some super work for you, well worth the extra cash. I'm hoping you got some good sheep hunting footage to post up in the near future!
