The taxidermy is mediocre at best. Although the eyes and the facial detail are good, one can easily see the seams on the back of the neck and the fit of the hide to the back of the pedistal is sloppy. I'm not so sure that I would have used plywood for the mounting base as well. I'd have picked a good solid hardwood, something a little fancier.

I hope the bidders know that the rack is a reproduction, fake, hopefully legally cast from the originals. They are fiberglass or resin, the buyer is not getting the actual set of antlers and I'm sure that this guy has many more of the racks on standby. Yeah, they'll make a good conversation piece for shows and people will flock to the booth that has this mount until they find out that it is fake.....and that "Joe Outfitter" around the corner has another one...

$1500 so far, man how some folkes are blinded by rack size...
