Bugsy is finally home!

[Rob-HC Hunter]

Killed this buck in 2021. The taxidermist I wanted to finish the deer has had a lot of personal issues but was able to finally finish him. I have to say it was well worth the wait the detail is incredible.

Does anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced pedestal?

I actually bought this online and the taxidermist added the synthetic rock but I wanted something a little more formal. So I opted for this one. Some prefer the more rustic hardwood and barbed wire pedestal. I think I paid a couple hundred back in 2001. You might look online under taxidermy or just search on pedestals.

I'm telling you my patience was certainly tested. I did have the horns so that helped a lot.

Very very good job and very well worth the wait

That's a great question. I've always thought it was something that happened to the blood flow while there are in velvet. But that's just s guess!!

Here is an article about holes in antlers

Whitetail Antlers: The Hole Truth | Deer & Deer Hunting

Have you ever seen a whitetail rack that has a hole in it similar to the one in this photo? When Deer & Deer Hunting forum contributor Mark Schrock shared this photo of a buck he killed last fall, the first thing I noticed was the hole in its main beam. These holes are actually quite common in...
