Livbucks, sorry I couldnt get in sooner. Your biggest problem with the ears hiding the antlers is NOT small antlers. The ears are grossly misplaced. It was common practice once to just stick em where theyd go, and say good enough. Nowadays the taxidermists are studying them and learning to focus an ear just like an eye. Bring those ears back to where the ought to be, and rotate them for "focus" and the antlers will be visible, no problem. Yellow mounts nowadays can be from epoxies that cure initially, but later on can weep and discolor the hides. The older mounts often were yellowing because they were pickled and never neutralized. The acid has continued to work the skin, yellowing and cracking them. Also, over time, cigarette smoke and kitchen grease kill mounts. Anyone who doubts me can move a mount and look at the fresh wall behind it, as opposed to the dingy wall around it. Makes you wonder what the lungs look like (yep, nonsmoker here!) Try using oven cleaner on the mounts, but be careful. Good luck.
