I found this mount in a flea market/consignment store/antique store on Thursday while out of state.

All I know is evident in the two photos I took of the mount.

I didn't ask a price or anything else.

I don't know if it is a replica or not, if it was a high-fence buck, etc..,

One of my friends thinks it looks like The Hole in the Horn buck(?). Surely some deer hunting fanatic here might have an idea.

I hunt predators. I don't chase antlers or horns.

I thought I'd share with folks who might like deer.

Could also be an epoxy rack on that buck.
Ive seen some fabulous Muleys and Whitetails at a taxidermy shop here in Florida that i thought were real.
Some guys just gotta have a real trophy hanging on their wall.
 
Definitely not the Hole-in-the-horn buck but a damned fine specimen nonetheless.

I checked Klaus Lebrecht's site to see if that might be a replica he'd done but don't see it.
If you like looking at monstrous whitetails, here's a bunch of porn for ya - he's definitely perfected that process:

I think that is the Neil Morin buck or a copy. Shot by the 17 year old in 1991 in Alberta. The face and ears do not appear to match the original mount.

I think you are The Winner!
Looks just like it.

I'll look up more about it.

I figured some dedicated deer fanatic here would sleuth it out, Thanks Greatgrandad!

I'm just a Grampa so far….

It sure looks like you hit the nail on the head. How in the world did you put the two together? AI?

I use to be a whitetail fanatic....I and a couple of other deer fanatics would travel to various Buckmasters, Sportsman and outdoor shows for many years, and we subscribed to various magazines and watched every deer hunting video that came out. I new I recognized that buck, so I checked a couple of trophy deer sites to refresh my memory.

Pretty amazing, I'll say. 👍
