Running Buck Taxidermy Home Page

These locked mule deer bucks were found a couple of months too late. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources granted the landowner where the bucks were found special permission to possess and mount these bucks. The five point buck was approaching his prime years and the older buck was past his prime (his antlers were huge and spiney at the base, yet under developed on outward). The way these bucks locked together was extremely unusual. It appears that the five point ran up from behind the older buck locking antlers, but of course this is only a guess. As a taxidermist, this piece presented a great challenge in recreating the Tragic Tale.
