Let me know what you think and be honest. I wont get upset or argue I want your opnions on how the mount looks.

For being done in a months time, it looks pretty dang good.

That looks really good. It is possible for taxi's to finish a mount in a month or less. Just depends on how much work they have going on. Buck looks good. Congrats on your trophy!

Maybe it is just the pictures but does his mouth look really narrow. And where in the world did you get it done in a month? Looks pretty good every where else though. Like I said it may just be the pictures.

Looks good to me

What a stud! The detail is all there, nice lines on the neck, nice coloring on the ear tips.
CB, I had the same thought. I would think the 'dermist would have to shave the styrofoam down to accomplish that, which would seem to be a deliberate action--i.e., maybe that was the actual size of the deer's nose/mouth, and that was necessary to tuck the lips into the mouthline on the form...?? Either way, it's still done extremely well. Good job Caldwelldeerhunter!

Never seen the ears facing both ways before not sure I like it but that would be a personal preference thing.

His nose and jaw line look like he's sucking on a lemon to me

Just My .02

Big buck with a nice rack.

If I knew how much you paid for the mount that might determine my opinion of the look of the mount.

If you paid a dirt cheap price, you got a good deal.

If you paid good money, you got jobbed.



But again, real nice buck that I would love to have one that big on my office wall.

Looks good except that lower jaw...seems off to me.

Minus the tanning and drying time it only takes about 6 hours to mount and paint a deer. It usually takes so long because most taxidermists have a tone of heads in at one time. Good looking mount!!

Caldwell, I like the horns but am not a big fan of the ears, or head especially around the base of the horns. The head looks disproportionate to the horns, kind of pronghorn looking. They may have used the wrong mould. Great horns though, is that the one in your signature line?

I cant find anything I dont like besides the nose and jaw looks to narrow like others have said but good mucles and face deffinition for sure.

btw- i really like the ears. It's like he just heard something behind him that was only "half interesting"

caldwell, man I think that is a good looking mount, my next deer is going to have the open shoulder like that, looks good!

nice rack

Looks like he got in to something sour...

Nice buck. To me the mount is pretty good except the mouth appears a little "off".

Nice buck, looks a little thin in the face especially the lower jaw.

Ears and muscles in neck looks very natural to me. I never like an alert pose, your pose is how a buck looks normally. Mouth is a little weird.

Great deer!! Mount not so great.

I dont care for the mounts with all the definition and lines in the cape.

The nose/mouth looks reall skiny, and his forhead looks like a giraffe.

Awsome big 8pt. Congrats on your deer again. This is what scares me about picking a taxi. I know im gonna step on some toes, because I have a friend that recently started doing taxidermy and this is why Im not getting him to do mine and I think im gonna ruffle feathers by doing so.

as others have pointed out, the lower jaw looks a little funny.

deers rack look bigger compared to the pics you showed us when you shot the buck, thats a big 8 point.

I like the ears being positioned at different angles, I had mine done the same way, it looks more realistic

BTW, this is a good example of proper taxidermy.

Looks great to me but ive only seen a million of them.
