I think I am going to try and make one of these. I think your pedestals all look great. Corey's pics aren't showing up now for some reason, but I remember it looking good.
I think I am going to aim more for what Kaiser did. However, I'd be happy with any of these styles.
I saw this one at a local taxidermist yesterday evening. I thought it looked ok too. I like the look of the old fencepost with the habitat around it.
I also found this one online that I thought was up my alley.
The fun part will be trying to build it and knowing it was my work. My goal is to put my best buck on it, the one from 2010 with the double split brows. Can't wait to get started!
Thanks for the ideas guys! (sorry for the hijack Seth)
