This was the largest overall buck in my shop for the 2025 season from northern Maine. At just under 27” wide, he dressed out at 246lbs and went over 150” gross. It’s not too common that they have a high scoring set of antlers along with heavy weight, but it happens.

He was a unique looking deer, especially the coloring in his face. A deer that has a lot of natural white hair around its eyes often looks much prettier than one that doesn’t…this buck was very dark around the eyes making him look unique. He also had very worn, big feet with chipped toes. The mount itself was a challenge to say the least. The form is almost totally custom because the supply companies offer nothing that was remotely close to his size. Days of alteration went into it, but it was worth the outcome.

And finally, to those who are interested in knowing how big the bed would be in the snow while tracking, I attached a few photos in the comments of my 18” custom browning BAR next to it. The tip of the barrel lines up with his rear end and there’s still about 8” of deer beyond the buttpad.

This northern Maine buck had a cool set of antlers…for the unique character it had, it was surprisingly symmetrical.

With deer season kicking off, I’m going to start off by accepting Aroostook county locals AND existing customer’s deer. Depending on how the season goes, I may open up to anyone statewide. I’ll update here on the page if I decide to do so.

Also, very important. If you need to contact me, please call/text my phone number only. Don’t send me a Facebook message. This keeps things more organized on my end. And finally, If I don’t answer, leave me a voicemail. Spam calls are out of control these days, so I don’t return calls unless you leave a voicemail. Good luck to everyone this season!

This Maine buck had some character…a beautiful grey coat, both main beams broken at the tips, and a big wad of bark built up on the base of his antler from making a rub.

With youth day right around the corner, good luck to everyone hitting the woods. Although I had to increase the price on deer this year due to the rising costs of supplies/shipping, all youth deer will be discounted. Call/text me for details.

I’ll also take in any youth hunter’s deer, regardless if you are an existing customer or not.

Here’s a nice young bull that I finished up this past spring.

It’s hard to believe the second bull hunt is over halfway done…if you’re still hunting, there’s plenty of time left!

A young man’s first buck…believe it or not! The antlers are even larger than they appear in the photo because the deer itself is so big. This buck was in the top five largest deer I took in last fall from northern Maine.

This buck ended up at my shop after being struck by a vehicle. Up north where I am, big bucks like this aren’t the norm, so he decided to have it mounted. I was happy to do it.

The only damage on the entire deer was a broken skull plate. Not bad for a 50mph+ collision. This happened near the last day of muzzleloading up here, he went 198lbs dressed.

Upright pose with a slight turn…very classy. It’d be hard to make one of these look bad! Some people aren’t a big fan of the offset shoulder that’s common on a lot of today’s deer forms…this is a great alternative. I can’t say I’m partial either way…like most things in taxidermy, it’s all personal preference.

It’s not too often I get my hands on a big cat…this one came all the way from Colorado.

We don’t know what the cat weighed because they couldn’t bring him out whole due to the rugged terrain…but he’s big. By the time he was retrieved by the hunter, he had tumbled down a cliff and into a ravine, making the pack out a nightmare. On the bright side, often the most challenging days in the woods make for some of the best memories.

This deer isn’t what you think it is at first glance. A healthy buck in Maine will shed the velvet from its antlers in September each year. But….this deer was taken during the muzzleloading week at the end of November…still in full velvet.

So what happened here? Upon further inspection, this buck was castrated. How it happened, who knows. But because of this, there’s a major imbalance of hormones due to the lack of testosterone. The result was this buck having antlers that stayed in velvet and a lot of body features being a pretty 50/50 mix between buck/doe.

It made for a fun project having to custom fit and shape just about everything to fit the skin just right. Not something I see every day.
