Thanks guys. The taxidermist is a lady named Carmen?  at RC Taxidermy in Del Rio Texas.  I forget her last name.  She has a pretty packed studio with a wide variety of critters.  She was restoring a Cape Buffalo skull/horns that has been in someones famiily for many years, shot by grandpa someone.  She is restoring it and making it into a coffee table.  The price she charged me for the shoulder mount on that Axis was $450.00.   I like the mount, shows more of the hide on one side than a traditional mount.   

I go bow hunt the ranch in just a few short weeks.  I think I will be shooting a few arrows/bolts at feral hogs from what I saw 2 weeks ago.   They are tasty but very destructive out there in that rocky shallow soil..
