Something different from Gizmo

Got a surprise text yesterday saying my Mule deer from 2024 was ready to pickup. Swung by Top of Texas taxidermy and to say I was blown away by my mount is an understatement.

I had no idea what I wanted to do with this so I asked Erik to choose a form that showcased the uniqueness of the deer. By far this is the best full sneak mule deer I’ve seen.

I’ll post more pictures when I get him in the office. My plan was to hang him in my son’s room (killed the deer on his first birthday) but the deer is really too big for his room. Makes it hard to get proper photos.

Thanks @gizmo

Thanks guys! They do indeed do great work. This was done by his newest artist. This is my 5th or 6th big game mount from them!

In case yall were wondering what he looked like on the hoof. Funny story too, was headed home from hunting to get some burgers together for my son’s birthday party. Spotted him behind my house bedded in some weeds, conveniently 60 yards from the gate. Had him down and loaded 5 minutes before my wife asked me to start cooking. Regret not taking decent photos, but we were on a time crunch. Wife said she expected nothing less! Deer made a hell of a party prop.
