Just for the record, I did not name him, the name was chosen by someone else who had past experience with the buck so I am just going with it.
As to the mount, I made the base which still needs to be finished yet which includes building a habitat to the top of it. I intend to include materials I collected from the area I killed the deer though I've never done anything like that before so am hoping I can do the big feller justice. Fingers crossed.
I think the taxidermist did an awesome job but I sort of wish i had turned it the other way as the left-side fork is a bit more impressive but this pose fits best where it sits in the room.
A few more days of installing laminate flooring in the second upstairs bedroom, finished the first bedroom last Friday night, and then I can get to working on the habitat so Big Otis feels more at home.
Here he be:
