Anyone have mounted pics on a Mckenzie 64D? / head down pose.

I personally don't care for the pose unless you are hanging it high on the wall and it is looking down, unless maybe you have 2 bucks getting ready to fight. Kind of an awkward pose in my opinion.

 

The oops I just piddled on the carpet pose. Can't stand it.

 

I'm the odd ball I guess. I really like the look of the form and have seen several mounted on it. I agree it needs to be hung high on the wall and works best with a bigger buck who would display dominance. I have several pictures of live bucks doing this early in season when they start to size each other up before breaking up.

I guess to give a good opinion it would be better that I have hands on with it. I got 2 to do. I am undecided between it and the Joe Coombs stepping out on the 2 bucks that my clients requested this form on.

 

I too enjoy the look of it... Ben mears has one very similar but I like mckenzies 64d better.. I have done plenty of them most of which can be found on my website...

I think this is one...I did it a couple years ago.

 

I like the mears way better. Never been a big fan of the pose however I don't mind it but the mckenzie one is just ugly to me. The mckenzie one just looks too sweeping and not enough aggression in the pose and head tilt. I always use the mears if thats what a customer really wants. You can have some fun the eyes rotations and eye brow attitude on this pose though which make for a little better mount. Make sure you blow the deer up good and back brush to give it more attitude yet.

 

In that case I would maybe go with the mckenzie one (however I would put a matuska head on it) and wedge the head back up just a little do a listening pose with ears rotated to be listening. Could make a cool unique piece with the simple alters and right attitude on the deer.

 

Here's a small buck on that form

I did this one a couple of years ago. Not my favorite,but it's what the customer wants,not what i want to do. I do agree with most,needs to be a large frame rack
to make it look right on the wall.

 

IMO this is a much better option for a head down pose. Matt Thompson wall ped

 

I like the Matt Thompson ; I`ll keep in mind , nice Ron C .

 

Here are a couple on the 64D.

 

Here is one I done this year.
