I know people around here hate him, but I have seen these forms in his catalog.
Nice try Jim, but your cuteness is going to be gone by sundown. DR, there's very little demand for that form and you're going to have to be satisfied with those as no one markets forms that don't sell well. In 45 years, I've had a request for that form only twice. The last guy wanted it used for a bow shot with the deer pulling the arrow out and I sent him packing.
McKenzie also sells the grooming form but kinda bites for the fact you pretty much need a deer with a 7'' eye to nose and an 19'' neck. 1 size doesnt always fit all. i have seen the pose george described as a archery scene. which i was impressed at the one i saw but the form needed to be altered by removeing midsection of the neck and turning it downward and back. just to acheive this pose. like george mentioned it might not have been in much of a deman. but for some reason like fashion in my area more and more guys are wanting this pose? but your limited to pretty much 1 size.
Try Foster Taxidermy not sure of the address.
I have bought 2 from him and they looked great.
His forms are for small deer 6 3/4 x 17 He may
have added to his list. I havent ordered for 4+
years.e-mail me if you can't find him. I'll look
for my catalog and get back to you.
dr, When you can't find just what you need you can alter something close. If your looking at a special pose but it's a bit too large it's not a big problem to down size it. Same deal to make it a bit larger. You can get a form that is right size but the turn's not just right and just change the turn. Now for sure you have more time in it but at least you end up where you want to be. There should be quite a lot on altering forms in the search section. Enjoy, Aaron H.
