Not the best mount. Back then I was early in my navy career and didn't have much $$$ for taxidermy. Went with a guy who was cheap. Learned an important lesson. The neck is too skinny and a little too long. I think he used a form that wasn't a sheep form.
I could probably get it re-mounted but most likely never will. Had a good set of horns and good color on the cape and the cape may not be wide enough now for a proper form and I don't want to put a cape from a sheep I didn't take on it. The whitetail is a PA deer I got on a hunt with a really good friend of mine. In that area of PA the deer don't get real big due to pressure and that buck taped 18 inches on the spread. He'd been fighting and broke a couple of points so I had him done as is to honor his fighting spirit.
