Thread: Deer and other Big Game

Just going to kick off this section with a few of mine that I"m sure everyone has already seen, please chuck up your own I'd love to see them and to see the thread take off.









And me as a chubby 12 year old with my first stag

They look mint BH

Some nice animals there BH

This is a red necked wallaby I suppose its classed as big game

Good stuff, we'd be stuffed if we tried that with a wallaby here!

What are peoples thoughts on doing my big red in a wall pedestal similar to this over the traditional shoulder mount?




Reckon it would suit him? minus the two turned ears

They do look different, im umming and arring about whether I should pedestal my tahr and cham or just go for a standard shoulder mount...

Whats the difference? Turned neck..... or am I missing something?

It's only one side of the deer thats mounted as opposed to a square shoulder mount.

I think I've decided though after chatting to a few other fellas, I'm going to get a base made up of either redgum or buloke, order in some habitat and have him done as a floor pedestal similar to this

I know what ya mean, I reckon when I eventually take a tahr with a good mane he'll be a wall pedestal for sure

BH, I love the Cheetal, sorry, feel I may have the spelling wrong on that!!!

I think I will get my Cham done like this, quite like it

Cheers eebees, haha you were close! it's Chital, but your phonetically correct which is better than most people in Australia. I think they were spelt cheetal back in British India. He's actually my brothers, I can't seem to find a pic of mine so I'll have to take another

Yeh I like that Perazzi, he's nice. do you have summer or winter cape on yours?

Hopefully get a cape next month! I shot him in February this year but didn't have a clue about capes ect so didn't take one.
