Description of Taxidermy for Sale
This is a stunning Whitetail Deer shoulder taxidermy mount, posed in an upright position slightly looking to the viewers right out into the room. What really captures the viewer’s eyes are the beautiful velvet antlers. Velvet is the tissue that covers the bone and cartilage that develop into a deer’s antler.

About the Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
The Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is one of the most commonly recognized animals in all of North America. The male whitetail deer is often referred to as a ‘Buck” and can grow to 300 lbs, producing antlers that are fully grown and shed annually. Whitetail deer are hunted in nearly every state throughout the U.S., with trophy-class antlered males being the most desirable. Their habitat includes everything from the open prairie to deep forests, making them extremely adaptable to various surroundings. Whitetail deer have a specialized stomach that allows them to eat plants, shoots, and grass, as well as various mushrooms that are otherwise toxic to humans.
