RE: Just got my 11-10-07 buck...
I think CornFed did not mean anything malicious by his statements. My Grandma always told me plain talk is easily understood.
It is obvious that the quality work is absent when you look at the Eyes, Ears, and Nose. I've been down this road before, and I'll guarantee you 5 years or less from now that Buck will be in even worse shape. I know I've had a couple of Pitiful mounts in my day.
He maybe an award winning taxidermist but that is not award winning work. Price is no true indicator of quality work.
As long as you are Happy that's All that matters. I personally would expect much more for $425, but that's me.

I wasn't going to say anything until you guys jumped all over Cornfed like a Red Headed step child justfor being Honest.
Being honest can hurt feelings, but it can also save someone money and/or heartaches down the road.
I wish someone had steered me right on my first few mounts.
The statements made take nothing away from the Buck or the Congrats I gave on tagging him.
In all seriousness, if someone can't see the errors in that mount, I sure wouldn't want you pickin my Taxi[8D]

RE: Just got my 11-10-07 buck...
The OP posted a picture of his buck and his mount. The young man is obviously PUMPED about it, and he should be! I would be too.
If you buy a new car and show it to 100 people, if 99 people say "great car", and 1 says "bad car", who do you remember?
I see no call to be critical when he wasn't asking for a critique. If the mount isn't up to your standards leave it be, unless he asks.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. I know I have opinions on things and if I can dish it I better be able to take it. Obviously, some people are more educated in the art of taxidermy than I am. I think it looks like a deer so I'm fine with the mount. My taxi has done three of my mounts and I think he has done a great job on all three. It isn't a big deal. To each his own. As long as I keep the skills to keep putting them on the wall nobody can critique me on that!
