Disclaimer: I'm not perfect or consider myself a master taxidermist.
If you (or early in) wants to know some things that caught my eye on your mount, I will give them. I will list them before reading WCL's reply. Once again,I don't consider myself a master taxidermist, I just do this part time. But I read, research, and attend everything I can that is taxidermy related. Here are the big things that jump out at me.
Lower lip - too much showing (too long). He looks like he is smiling.
Ears - very rough along the edges, posistion of ear butts are off, and the ear butt muscles have a very unnatural bend to them.
Eyelashes - should angle down at a 45 degree angle.
The pink/flesh in the nose should be able to be seen straight on.
The nose is very black.
Brisket looks crooked.
Below are a few on my mounts. You can pick them apart, as I know the aren't perfect. I don't want to start any fights, I just want to encourage hunters to research taxidermists before dropping their trophy off. Sure, I've seen a lot worse looking mount. As I said in an earlier posts, very nice buck, I would be very proud of that bruiser.
BTW - early-in...nice looking mount.
