RE: My Deer Mount (PICS)
I saw your post on taxidermy.net. I'm a novice taxidermist myself and would be pretty happy with that deer. My mounts look better the farther away from them you get. Mounting deer has given me more appreciation for those that do it full time.
I don't know about you but I'm going to keep it as a hobby, it takes me about a day and a half. I've done four so far and will be doing my son's 8 point in a couple of weeks. I think it's real neat when you first put the hide on and it turns into a deer again.
Good luck with your next one.
