  • This is the Finalé ... the completed 're-birth' of "My Little Buck". I'm as proud as can be!
    This is the FINAL remounting of my own Whitetail Deer ... a full-on ten-pointer! A small ten, but a ten all the same ... and my first and ONLY Deer I ever killed. After I killed him, that's when I discovered, that I wasn't cut out to kill animals. I prefer to "restore" them ... the phrase preferred by my friend, the late Henry Wichers Inchumuk - Master Taxidermist and Mentor - when he was still with us ... bless him! Since I first mounted him as a standard wall mount - over a paper form - back in 1974, a newer floor pedestal headform came onto the market.
    The chosen headform is a wonderful sculpture, but still needed some minor reducing here and there, as well as some refining of details here and there, until I was satisfied with it. Now, bear in mind, I killed this buck back in 1973 ... December 1st, 1973 to be exact - the day before my 18th Birthday ... and when I originally mounted my him, it was back around 1974.
    So now, here he is ... in all his glory! Thank you to Research Mannikins, and Bill Lancaster, who sculpted this and many of the forms I use.
    I will say this mount was a labor of love that took many, many years to fulfill. Yes, I'm happy!
    Music: "Moonlight Sonata" - Full Version by Ludwig Van Beethoven
