Bill,
I ended up with a red in Prof. division. Meder was the judge and he gave a great critique. Ear butts still need work, eyes needed a little work, finish work needed touching up. I knew the finish work was off. I did the finish work on Sunday and Monday night then left on Tuesday. I can do a lot better on the finish, but I rushed it to get it done.

I know your probably not too worried about it, but I don't think you have anything to prove. I don't know the individuals who made the comments on the Net, but their motives are obvious.

On another subject. I have two fawns to mount that I hoped to do for show. I've had them for 1 1/2 years. They are were one and two weeks old when they died. The oldest one was a runt so is no bigger than the young one. Would their eyes have still been blue at that age?

Oh yeah, if you need a picture of your mount. I think I got a couple but the above is probably the best and maybe one from more behind. I could email them to you.
