Here are pics of my mounts. This is the 2nd and 3rd mounts I have ever done. The 8 pt. is my second, and the 10 pt. is my 3rd. What do you think? I love working on the mounts. I'd like to get into the habitat stuff and learn how to do birds next. Like I said, I am doing this as a hobby. Well, I actually charged for these two mounts, but I do not have a business.

Here is a pic of my deer I just got back. What do you all think about the way it looks?

I used to mount over 100 deer a year from 1999 to 2004. I will tell you that I am a stickler in regards to ears. Whoever mounted your whitetail has a very good understanding of ear anatomy to include nicely re-created earbutts & proper use of the zygomatic arch. The ears are sharp and have the correct anatomy. I can see that the scleral band of the eye was barely shown and was not over exposed.That the taxidermist was able to place one ear back convincingly is also a plus. The proper antler set with a nice dish in the forehead with the bottom lip exposed is also nice to see. The grooming of hair looks good and is correctly groomed toward the ground, not toward the back as you often see.

The only thing that I think could have improved the mount was the paint schedule used on the eyes...had they been painted to look "softer" it would certainly bump the mount up. I would say that you have a very nice mount and should be very proud to display it. Again, just my opinion.
