Always, always, always visit the taxidermist and look at his CURRENT work! Accuracy comes with experience and training, obviously not all have done their homework, however with all the great professional taxidermists in Texas there really is no excuse for not doing your homework. I've been a professional taxidermist for over thirty years and most wildlife artists including me, mount game according to ones training, experience, and desire to perform our very best work, regardless of species, financial gain, or notoriety.
I really regret your mount was not accurate, but you are responsible for your homework.
