I’d like to mount my latest bull on this form.

I need help finding the form or similar.


I think this bull will look good mounted this way. It’s big in the front. Big 3rd’s and nice 4th’s…

Many taxidermist buy a form that is close and the correct dimensions then alter it with a sawsall and electric knives
 
Almost every taxidermy supplier that carries elk forms will have something similar. This is a sneak pedestal form. Nothing custom needed other than mild alterations to fit the skin.
 
Ok so I had to go looking after shooting off my big mouth :LOL:. You might need a slight alteration to tilt the head back but these two are close and already floor pedestals. Also, most wall forms can be easily converted to pedestals. I really like the HQ stuff

Will work on a pedestal but antlers won’t clear on a wall mount. Just wanted to make sure you realize that.
 
It’s probably going to be one like this:

Likely modified to get this:

But more than likely end up like this:

Try jetz taxidermy supply

Take a look at research mannikins, they have several pedestal sneaks that are similar to your picture. . . As for sizing and modifications if needed/wanted, that is up to the taxidermist you select.

Least one very Similar to the one you seek as well

Getting close.


I this back in an email this afternoon:

“Looks like there has been some alterations to the form we have.

Form = G-535-13

Closed mouth muzzle = G-EM516

Pedestal Ped = LEG-533



Please let us know if you would like to place an order for these items.





Thank you,

Ilda

Research Mannikins, Inc.”


I need help deciphering the codes!
 
They correspond to the form’s number in the catelog-avaialble on internet or a paper version. With that number you can determine direction of turn and sizes available. Most taxidermists will slightly alter a form in some way or another

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY
