Choosing the Right Deer Head Position



Mounts come in a variety of positions.

     Many times people are confused at which direction and position to mount their trophy.  Thankfully, companies have developed an almost endless array of options.  There are a few things to think about when making the final decision on a deer head.

• First, walk into the room your trophy will be in and look at the wall or location where you want it to reside.  You will most likely want the mount turned and looking at you as you come in the door. 
• If you already have a mount it may look good to have the new mount facing the opposite direction to create symmetry.  
• Think about whether you want your mount to be alert or in sneak mode.  In other words, like it spotted you coming in the room or like its on the trail of a doe during mating season. 

     Many people go with a position similar to the one they last saw the deer alive in.  If you need some extra help with choosing your mount call Hitchins Taxidermy for some tips or message us on facebook today.  www.facebook.com/HitchinsTaxidermy
