Excited to announce I've got some new decals made! Because who doesn't love a good sika stag decal? These are available for purchase in white, black, or color. I can ship as well, $3/each

Just finished up this monster buck a client brought me for restoration. The deer had died in full velvet, most likely from EHD. Because of this, the rack was super porous and not fully hardened. In addition, 18 of the antler tips were broken or chewed off. For those curious, I rough scored it at 186.25 gross.

First steps were a thorough cleaning and peroxide bath. I then had to shape new antler tips by hand then sand them down to match. Next, I had to seal the antlers with a compound to cover the pores followed by another sanding.

Next up was the painting process beginning with a base coat of off white followed by a sealer. Next up was the first coat of brown, again followed by a sealer. This process continued through 6 colors, most subtle but adding depth and character. Last was lightly sanding the antlers to pull out the light under coatings like a buck rubbing. Then, a final seal.

Good luck this rifle season and stay safe out there. You all have kept me so busy with skulls this year I haven't even had time for a Facebook post! If you didn't have a chance to see it, we were featured in a article in the recent Shore monthly magazine.

Good luck to everyone this upcoming season!

It has been a very busy year! So busy i havent posted any pictures on here! I'd like to express my deepest gratitude towards all my loyal customers. I truly enjoy creating trophies that will memorialize your hunts for years to come.

As prices have risen over the last year on nearly everything I wanted to let my loyal customers and potential new customers know I will NOT be raising prices this year. I plan to offer the same high quality professional mounts, fast turnaround, and satisfaction guarantee as always. I want my customers to know they can still take their trophy to a taxidermist for a reasonable price and expect a great product. I can't promise there won't be price increases in the future, but for this entire season all standard deer European mounts will still be $80. (Velvet/speciality mounts extra) As a brand new hunting season comes into view I can't wait to see those harvests roll into the shop! Happy hunting!

My latest camo dip- I think the wetlands camo is a great fit for the sikas.

01/25/2019

Definitely the coolest whitetail I've done this year. The pictures don't do it justice.

END OF SEASON SPECIAL! All deer heads dropped off from now until Jan. 31st. will be only $60 - $10 OFF the normal price. Have some heads in the freezer from this or previous seasons you've been waiting to do something with? Come take advantage of this limited time offer! This is for all base mounts with wire hangers, plaques and camo dipping extra but will still reflect $10 discount.

My personal skulls from this season. One of the other nice things about the plaques with bases is the same plaque can be used as a table mount or wall mount. Plus, you can always switch them later if you want to change up the look.

This beast was found late. It is easily the tallest sika I have ever laid hands on-15.5 inches. It also had a fascinating bit of antler growth coming out of the center of its skull. I had to do some work to remove the staining on one antler. Truly an amazing deer.

11/11/2018

Another few going out. I love the dark plaques and how they contrast with the white skulls. Check out those huge bases on the old sika stag my mentee harvested. What a cool deer!

Happy Halloween from Shore European Mounts!

Another before and after of an EHD buck found this past spring during some shed hunting.

02/19/2018

This stag was shot with a crossbow bolt that did not kill him. It penetrated the nasal cavity and just stuck out the other side. It was a Horton bolt with nap killzone broadhead and lumenok. The stag was healing and healthy with the label on the bolt actually rubbing away from walking through vegetation. I decided this was best displayed as a table mount with lower jaw. Definitely one of the most unique skulls I've done!

Unfortunately this was a bad year for EHD for a lot of MD. As you are out shed hunting this spring you may come across some awesome deadheads. Consider bringing some life back to them through a European mount! Check out these before and afters.

Just finished another one- this one is using a European mount that angles the head on the wall at a much more natural angle. Similar to skullhooker mounts, it is adjustable up and down but not right to left. The best part is its costs $25 less than a skullhooker!
