Here you go Sean. You've seen these in person, but they are kind of unique.

People love to get their picture taken with their head in my 12' alligator's mouth.

 

This is kind of unique too.

 

I put halloween candy in this one.

This turned out really nice. It's a wall pedestal on an extended swivel mount... The back is really well finished too.

I'll bet the alligator coming out of the wall or Halloween candy in the gators mouth has given more than one person nightmares!!

Best one ever seen Sean was a local Taxidermist had a 170' Whitetail mounted with the front legs and then the butt and rear legs mounted separate.

It was on a adjustable pedestal that you could slide it in and out. He would put it behind his TV or some plants. It was moved around the house a lot by Jim's wife.

That'd be a cool one to see a picture of Brett!!

 Hey Kaz, I really like the folds the taxidermist used on the neck.

Yep Sean, I know your thread said "unique", but the main part of the mount that's unique is that it's wall pedestal on an extended swivel bracket. It can be rotated & swiveled away from the wall for any angle. The back cavity is finished in a bronzing swirl pattern that is pretty classy. If a guy ever wanted to make it a table pedestal, that would be possible. It also would work to rotate it into a corner or between studs. Pretty sweet. I wanted something special for "Rainbow"... Mission accomplished.

This is so close to my ideal man cave, I have visions of walking into the door and you have 2 buffalo standing upright arms crossed with gold chains (bouncers) the as you get inside you see a couple of whitetail playing darts and in the corner you have a mountain goat lying back in his chair with a banjo. The final scene will be 2 grizzlies sitting at the bar cracking jokes and one bent backwards with laughter.    :laughing:
