Default Question for the Taxidermist (or anyone)

I did a European mt on a deer I shot this year (first time) and I think it turned out OK, in the process the lower jaw just seemed to fall off,
(it made the scraping easier) Question??? should I glue the jaw back on? or leave it off, I have looked at pictures of them on the net and have seen them both ways. as a pro, what would you do?, Thanks, Den

Personally I think the Jaw is going to fall off anyways cause there's nothing left (muscle or cartlidge) to hold it on when you boil it.I've seen them on plaques with and without the lower jaw...maybe drill a hole and wire it back on?

I think it looks better with the lower jaw off!
