See how your hair against the wall looks scruffy?? If you take a flat comb and start at the top (middle) on each side angle the comb towards the deer andbrush the hair against the wall and down the side where it meets the wall all in one motion doing it many times along the edge until you reach the bottom. Then repeat on the other side. Basic idea is to get those long edgehairs behind your mount so you have a nice clean edge and it looks like your deer is comin out of the wall. Your mount will look super clean (it is already a very clean mount). Get him leveled and combed and take and postanother pic like your second one you posted and i bet you see a world of difference. The mount does look really good and is worth way more than $350 I'lltell ya that. WCL
