For longtime friend, Pat Reeve of Driven TV, Klaus Lebrecht of Antlers by Klaus was contacted to create something really special, in fact something that had never been done before. In honor of Pat’s 2012 wedding to co-star, Nicole Jones, a matching set of double stacked mounts were conceived, designed and crafted by Antlers By Klaus.

Besides double stacking the mounts, these mounts also rotate 360 degrees. The four whitetails selected to be replicated for this one-of-a kind project, were Pat’s Illinois 192 3/8” net typical* and sheds from the same deer and Nicole’s two trophy bucks, one from Saskaskewan and the other also from Illinois. Pat’s typical buck, is the largest typical buck, taken by a bow, ever recorded on film and worthy of such a phenomenal undertaking.

Each phase of the project required skill and ingenuity, since standard parts for this type of application do not exist. Over 22 hours were spent, carving and sculpting the four deer forms alone. Next came designing and building the mechanical parts to allow the mounts to rotate a full 360 degrees. Each stacked mount had to be reinforced with steel and balanced for smooth rotation. Next came the finishing. Custom leather backs for the four pedestal mounts were laser engraved with harvest photos of the deer and the Driven TV logo. In addition, each leather back was hand laced with leather stripping for a beautiful, custom finished edge. The finished mounts were then placed on top of custom wood pedestals, created to match the Driven TV show booth.
