Upright whitetail deer mount forms
Upright shoulder mount forms from Mears Whitetail Forms — straight (UPST), left turn, and right turn, hand sculpted in Mantachie, Mississippi and shipped to taxidermists nationwide.
The upright is the traditional whitetail shoulder mount: head high, ears alert, full neck showing. It is the posture that best displays a heavy, wide rack, and the one most hunters picture when they drop off a cape.
Mears upright forms are sculpted with correct neck taper and brisket depth so the cape sets down clean without shimming. Every form takes a 32mm eye and accepts Mears replacement heads, TrueForm noses, and Ultimate ear liners.

Common questions
- What is an upright whitetail mount?
- An upright shoulder mount carries the head high and alert, the classic pose for a heavy-antlered buck. Mears sculpts upright straight (UPST) and upright right/left turn (UPRT/UPLT) forms.
- Do upright forms work with replacement heads?
- Yes. Mears replacement heads swap onto Mears forms, which also makes them ideal for backpack mounts and repairs. Sizes and pricing are on the order page.
