Full-Body Mounted White-Tailed Deer, With Barbed Wire Fence
Full-Body Mounted White-Tailed Deer. Odoceileus virginianus
This stunning "nine pointer" is a first-class example of the taxidermist's art as well as an object illustration of the American Way of Life. Innocently wandering the woods, the buck seeks food. Beechnuts, the last of the browse, even tree bark will help him pack on nourishing fat, a safety buffer against the cold, hungry months ahead. Lovin' too, is on his mind, for the colder weather has triggered hormonal changes that tell him it's time to make little Bambis, and the female deer in the area have the same idea. Its' all part of the circle of life, and the complete that circle, this buck, who is literally "horny" will climb through barbed wire...Meanwhile, back in deer camp, a group of intrepid huntsman sits around a table eating apple pie with cheddar cheese and drinking beer out of cans. Their fondest desire is to blast this totem of the wild with their high-powered rifles.
