    Decision time. I'm thinking about getting a full sneak mount done. I like the look of both the Mears and Meder offset sneak but haven't seen many photos online. What's the differences between the 2? Does anyone have photos of deer mounted on these forms? I have a few semi sneaks and an upright already so I'm looking for something different + I think the full sneak would work better where it's going.

    You probably don’t want to here this lol but the 4900 series wall pedestal from McKenzie is awesome and worthy of the hold time , here’s a few mount pics of it 6C0C0225-F5A0-4F69-A94A-684D6202994E.jpeg D62E60D8-A331-410B-B831-73062B73B268.jpeg 844A3238-8AFE-46B1-BC9A-FEADAA9F9A92.jpeg 77282F8F-A321-4EA6-9127-A97F970CA160.jpeg

    I think that is an awesome looking form. Hopefully they will make a mule deer one as well. That’s a good deer right there.

    That 4900 is really nice. The Ben Mears FSL-WP is another one that really got my attention.

    This is the buck I'm looking to get done in a full sneak. I'm thinking the full sneak will look pretty nice. I like what I've seen in the posted photo's. Thanks 20211129_103807.jpg

    Bucks like that look great in any pose.... especially broadside near my stand...

    I really like that 4900. And the Ots. Will try one for my next mount.

    You could look at the 9800 series from joe combs as well. I have like that form for a while. I just had never killed one with a big enough body for it.
