Ask your taxi for the exact form and check it out on line at Mckenzie.

I'm getting my first mount done. Semi sneak head turned to the left. I wanna showcase the split G2 on the right side. Your taxidermist should have pics of previous mounts too.

The mckenzie forms are the best IMO. Its all I use and a couple others they have in their catalog. I would not go with ears alert if I were you. Personally i dont like the looks of alert ears on sneaks or semi sneaks. Those forms are more of a relaxed pose than an alert pose but to each his own I guess. I usually try and talkpeople into the ears back if they havent made up their mind already when they bring me a head cuz I think the deer looks more natural. The only form I do like with ears forward is the upright hard turn with ears forward.Semi sneak is prolly the most common form used and look great. Good luck. WCL

I like the semi-sneak as well. The alert is real old school with upright head and doesn't look as natural to me but is "classic". I would do semi sneak and chose left right based on which side of the rack you want to show off, location in room, other mounts already on the wall (who wants all the deer looking one direction?)

I think these both are semi-sneak.....but I don't know for sure. Just wanted 'em looking at each other, kinda.

Mine is being mounted like GMMAT's left deer, I got the Mckenzie semi-sneak also. I wouldnt suggest alert ears either, it kinda looks funny on a semi-sneak IMO, from what I was looking at that he had already done at the Taxi.

I got the ear kind of "back" Probably like GMMAT's Im not sure.
