I know there is a wide range of people here with different interests, but I was wondering generally, do you guys have many mounts of animals / birds or fish? How many? What types? Pics would be Cool too.


I have a shoulder mount 8 pt. whitetail, Caribou rack, 16" Yellow Perch. and a few Mule Deer racks in my shop. Oh and an old musket 150+ years old on the wall.

1 antelope shoulder mount
1 texas dall ram shoulder mount
3 turkey fans and feet all different ways

3 shoulder mounts at the taxidermist
1 european mount at the taxidermist
3 skulls of bucks I've found
Many collected racks and sheds

And that about does it. I will post pictures when I get my three bucks back. That will fill the entire wall in my basement.

probably 25 or so. However, I realized that these only meant something to me. Once I kicked the bucket...........the wife or kids would probably have a sale and get rid of them.
Now I just take pictures, and save the money for Guns or things that are more important. Or couldve saved the money and invested it:dizzy: ...They were nice to look at!

No mounts for me [yet]. I do have a few tanned, mountable fisher furs that will one day be part of a big multiple species scene that will include the fishers, some grouse and woodcock, porcupine, and possibly a bobcat.

1- 10 point whitetail (shoulder mount)
2-antler plaque mounts(4point & 6point)
1- mallard (green head)
2- wood ducks
1- bufflehead
1- 43" muskie (first one I ever caught)

I had him do the muskie trying to eat one of the wood ducks. The guy did a great job on the fish (360 degree mount) but not such a great job on the duck. plus any time the dog could get his face on the duck it was like cocaine to an addict, pretty hard to keep him away from it. so needless to say the duck is in rough shape and needs to be replaced.
check out this pic.

Never thought mounts of animals were that cool, I would rather have a lot of pics of me and the hunt and even the shots with the days bag.
Rather have the money for a trip or more equipment.

1 Drake Canvasback, 1 20 inch Stream brown, and soon a Drake Black Duck. Should've mounted a 17 pound steely from Tippy that I caught one October, but I was in College and didn't realize that I probably won't catch one that big again.:(

Thanks fish patroll, the rest of the mounts mentioned are on the other walls of "my" side of the basement. The goal is to one day fill this side up and then start working on regaining control of the toy side of the basement from the kids.Someday:lol: I see you're not far away, now I know who to contact if I get lucky enough to pull out a big winter walleye this year.;)
