That is a dandy! Congrats, you must be proud.
Based on pic alone, that is one of the nicest mounts I've seen in a while. If you don't mind disclosing, how much did it cost you. Thanks!

Thanks everyone, we really are happy that we went with this pose. Rick still charges less than $500 and I had buddies paying that much for work that was far less in quality. Most of those buddies are now making the switch. Rick described the form as a "wall pedestal with an extreme turn." (I think that is his polite way of saying that he alters the form with his own artistic touches).
I will post a few more pics tomorrow to show the wall /pedestal back and another angle.

bowman, looks to me to be a Joe Coombs form. In fact I'm almost positive I have picked out the exact same form for my Illinois buck except the buck is turning to the right at that hard angle.

That is a great looking mount, I hope to take a short haired whitetail like that one day...the mounts always turn out awesome!

Oh yeah, sure does look like one! Now that you say that I remember that at the last minute I switched from the Coombs hard right turn to the Thompson 8500 series. My mind has been pretty absent, was home for 5 days last week with a sick kid! So many of the forms look so similar that it's hard to distinguish!
