No the forms are the deers neck/head position. It goes upright, sem-upright, semi sneak, sneak, semi-sneak head up (scent check), sneak head up, semi sneak head down (agressive).... and some of the different positions come in off-set shoulders. Ears forward or back is the alertness of what you want. I personally like ears back cuz it looks more realistic and relaxed to me but some ears forward look good too i guess. Another way to do it is one ear back and one forward. Yeah I guess it depends on where it will be on the wall for ya as far as the turn and seeing your stickers/palmation. Left turn just might be better. Hold it up against the wall turning it both ways and then decide what you like. Also if you wanna check out all the different forms that mckenzie offers you can go on there website and look at their catelog online showing all the diff forms. Here is the buck I have in my avatar that I mounted aswell. Its a meder form (from mckenzie catelog) semi sneak head up. WCL
