Best Whitetail Mounts of all Time

I think Meders gasping whitetail is one of the best, I have never seen pics of the deer Joe Coombs won with but would love to.

 

I hope someone has a picture of Gene Smith's 'snort-wheeze' deer to post! I am also fond of Vincent Fleming's current World Champion deer, as well as Ed Piaskowski's 09' world deer!

 

Someone posted a Yox mount of 2 deer fighting, that thing looked killer.

 

Below are the Best In World Whitetails from Ken Edward’s response at http://www.taxidermy.net/forum/index.php/topic,214417.0.html

I added Vincent Fleming in 2011.

Now we just need some pictures but I believe all of these have pics in back issues of Breakthrough.

Meders gasping is my favorite.

 

The post is about world show grand champion whitetail winners, not about some wanna be guys. ;D

j/k Bill

 

Yox had a buck with hanging velvet thats still on of my favorites. I think it was an NTA best of category. That and my uncles NTA deer are my top two.

Not world show i know but still sweet!

If someone gets a pic of meders i would love to see it!

 

Would be cool to see some of these for those of us who haven't been around so long.

 

I think John Griffith took Best in World in the Professional Division one year.but I don't remember the year.

 

No such thing.

 

2001
Best of Category, Whitetail Deer Head
JOHN T. GRIFFITH JR., Waldorf, MD
Whitetail Deer

Whatever the proper name was for the award, its quite and achievement and a great mount. I believe it can be viewed on his website.

 

Would also love to see some pic's of the best of the best mounts out they're.

 

Who did that one suspended by a corncob. I think don holt? I think it was at the 05' world show. Anyhow that comes to mind first for me.

And Rudy, quit trying to kiss Bills ass ;D

 

John won Best of Category, there is no such thing as a world champion in Professional div

 

Andy that was Don Stevens who did that one. It won Masters of Masters

2011 Vincent Fleming (in the photos the mounts of the 2nd and 3rd place winners were inadvertently reversed – it should be Keith Bowman 2nd with the deer on the bottom right and Mark Gonnering 3rd with the deer in the upper right) http://02d6fca.netsolhost.com/issues/2011/Summer/gallery/gallery01.htm

 

Lol Andy, i dont care what bill thinks about me. But that mount still has inspired me to do something with hanging velvet in the future and i decided that back when i was 13. I have the drawing but not the talent or the rack yet.

I prefer mounts like Genes Dons and Eds, to the others. Not because there action poses, but its more like a picture when you looking at the whole piece.
