The Edge Upright Whitetail Deer Mannikins
Sculpted by Rick Carter
Every whitetail deer enthusiast is well aware of a deer's natural ability to survive on the edge. The edge is where the hardwoods meet the pines and the meadows and farms meet the forest.
Living on the edge requires some phenomenal physical changes that take place every season and every year of a deer's life cycle. The accurate depiction of season and age has been ignored by the taxidermy supply industry for far too long.
Now, through years of research, collecting data, and assembling skeletons, WASCO is proud to present a new line of whitetail deer mannikins that reflect the exact proportions, seasonal changes and accuracy that taxidermists across America have been dreaming of.
Now, you can experience the edge in your business. The edge where the cape fits the form and the customer realizes the difference. The edge where time saved becomes added profit.
NEW! Age-Based Anatomy
The Edge deer mannikin series is based upon the study and recording of the progressive growth and seasonal changes of hundreds of live whitetail deer over the past twenty years. A 1 1/2 year old deer will look different than a 3 1/2 year old deer with similar measurements, and The Edge is the only deer line that reflects this change. This feature will produce more realistic mounts with better fitting skins.
NEW! Positive-Set Eye Sockets
There's no need to grind out eye sockets any more to achieve correct angles. The Edge deer heads are set up for easy installation of all major artificial eye styles. The brow and orbit areas are pre-set at the correct depth, so very little clay is required.
NEW! Positive-Set Earbutts
No matter what kind of earliners you use, you will save time with The Edge mannikin's positive set earbutts. Designed to fit the Brad Eppley Ear-Tech System, you can attach ear bases before mounting if desired. Additionally, there is no excess earbutt to rasp away. This helps with the application of short-Y incision capes. The exact indication of the acusticus externus (ear canal) from the skull accommodates positive ear location.
NEW! Season-Based Musculature
The musculature on The Edge is based 100% upon anatomical accuracy. All muscle definition is founded in reality, not fanciful styling. The Summer deer really look like summer deer, and the the rut is characterized throughout the sculpture, not merely a swelled neck.
NEW! Anatomically Accurate Brisket
The skin aligns properly to our new accurate brisket design which includes the small portion of the front leg. Not too wide, these briskets will produce beautiful results with no pulling or tugging of the skin. The front legs may be easily rasped off if not desired.
NEW! Skeletal Frame in All Models
The use of a real skeletal frame within each Edge model insures the proper shoulder width, neck length, and proper head-neck and neck-shoulder unions. This devotion to accuracy greatly increases the time and expense involved in developing these sculptures, as in-between sizes are never guessed at or interpolated.
NEW! Sculpting Quality
Newly developed sculpting methods produce the most symmetrical and concentric surface areas possible. The result is a beautiful mannikin which requires much less preparation time to get it ready for the skin. This means added profit for your studio.
NEW! The Neck Actually Turns Like a Live Deer
You will definitely notice the new look of the "turns" in The Edge. Unlike other mannikin lines, which uniformly turn a neck through a series of stacked disc slices rotated in progression, The Edge series turns its head like a live deer, tilting at the 7th cervical vertebra with rotation between the 1st cervical vertebra (atlas) and the 2nd vertebra. This produces the most natural-looking turns of any deer line.
NEW! Positive-Fit Headblock Angles
The newly designed positive fit angles require less time and materials for the setting of antlers. Heavy-duty 3/4" plywood headblocks and backboards hold your screws securely and will never warp.
NEW! Consistency in Posture and Turns
The posture and pose of every mannikin within The Edge series is consistent throughout all sizes. Every turn angle is the same exact 30 degree, and every upright has the same attitude, so you will never have to disappoint a customer who wants a pose not available in their trophy's size.
The Edge Whitetail Deer Mannikins Listed by Size and Age
The Edge deer sculptures actually reflect an accurate aging sequence. A young deer invests much of its nutritional intake into building bone mass and has not filled out. The faces have an adolescent look as they are more narrow and lack bulk. As the deer matures, the production of bone slows down and the deer fill out much more in the neck and chest. As deer get older, the facial skin begins to sag and loosen.

Summer Deer Mannikins In July and August, whitetail are developing their velvet antlers for the upcoming season. The skin is thin and the hair is very short. Summer deer have not "bulked out" and the characteristically highly defined, thin musculature is quite evident.

Fall/Winter Deer Mannikins In September the whitetail shed their velvet and begin to add weight mass to help carry them through the lean winter months ahead. The small summer frame is replaced by a fuller body and increased neck size.

Rutting Deer Mannikins Usually in November the whitetail enters the mating season or rut. The rutting deer is characterized by the swollen barrel neck, heavy brow, and thick, swollen facial and brisket tissue. Older deer increase their "C" neck measurement more than young deer.
