Semi-sneak whitetail deer mount forms
Semi-sneak forms from Mears Whitetail Forms — left turn (SSL), right turn (SSR), and straight (SSST) postures, hand sculpted in Mantachie, Mississippi and shipped to taxidermists nationwide.
The semi-sneak is the most-mounted posture in whitetail taxidermy for a reason: the lowered, forward head reads natural on a wall at eye level and shows the neck and brisket without exaggeration. Mears semi-sneak forms are sculpted from live reference by two-time national champion Cole Mears and shop founder Ben Mears.
Every semi-sneak takes a 32mm eye and accepts Mears replacement heads, Champions Choice noses, TrueForm noses, and Ultimate ear liners, so you can build the exact expression you want without altering the base form.
Looking for a lower, harder stalking line? See the offset super sneak forms. Want the head off the wall on an extended brisket? See the semi-sneak wall pedestals.

Common questions
- What is a semi-sneak deer mount?
- A semi-sneak whitetail mount sits between an upright and a full sneak — the head is carried lower and slightly forward, like a buck moving alert through cover. Mears offers semi-sneak forms in left turn (SSL), right turn (SSR), and straight (SSST).
- What is the difference between a semi-sneak and a super sneak?
- A super sneak drops the head lower and stretches the neck further forward than a semi-sneak, giving a harder stalking line. Mears sculpts both, including offset super sneaks (OSSL/OSSR) that turn the head off the body line.
- How much do Mears semi-sneak forms cost?
- Semi-sneak forms are priced by size on the order page, with a 32mm eye standard on every form. Call 662-282-4594 for bulk or dealer pricing.
