I prefer to see a buck as it was when he was killed...........if you don't have pics of the deer like mentioned already you are assuming that his tine was equal.......when in reality it could have been any length, maybe even longer then it's opposite match.

The buck I am having mounted right now has a spot under his eye where a slug ripped the flesh and it is just hanging there. The taxidermist told me he can sew it together no problem so I said fine, but I told him that if he has any trouble with it to just leave it because I think it adds even more to the story..........he also had a broadhead slice on his stomach. That makes 2 guys at least that couldn't seal the deal on him........and it's just a cooler story then "Hey look at my deer"


Like people have said already. It doesn't really matter what I or anyone else thinks. He is gonna be on YOUR wall and YOU will have to look at him every day. If YOU are ok with it then do it. Anyone who tries to criticize you for it is most likely just jealous.


Congrats......no matter what you do.
