Agree, none of mine look exactly the same. They all look like they did when killed. That comes with museum quality taxidermy. I'd say your daughter's buck looks to be of that same quality right down to his scalp, now that I can see the harvest photo.

Fouzman...he's one of the best in the Midwest.....he used wife's buck as a national competition piece and did very well. Where did you hunt in Iowa?

I do not like the ears at all being pined back. But that is only my opinion about it. All my bucks have the ears in an alert position. I also agree with some that the neck in the photo was swollen from being in a rut and the mount it is skinny. However all aside, your daughter got a wonderful buck and I am sure that the memories of that hunt will last two lifetimes.....hers and yours.

Ears back is a preference of mine especially when you have several existing mounts with the deers ears in an alert position. Great looking mount. Great!

Congrats to you and your daughter. I like the mount, and the fact that you and your daughter share a passion. My son and I are avid kayak anglers, so we're both lucky fathers.

Looks the same to me. Congrats to your daughter, her smile says it all Cool looking mounts, ears forward and back both look great, way to mix it up. Also that one with the snow on it is a very nice touch

DT-
You asked the peanut gallery about their thoughts on your mount; what are yours? Do you like it, or is there something up that we are missing?

Wanted opinions on it. Always curious to see what others look for/expect in a mount.

Pictures often are not flattering. Never seem to capture the full effect. The buck looks professional and well done. You should be proud. I would be. Now if I can just figure out out how to take a picture without accenting my double chin. Congratulations
