Be Glad you got that deer on a plaque, that particular mannikin is hard to balance on the wall without a shoulder panel, i mounted one on that same manikkin and it almost killed me, I got my forehead split in two with the antlers, it is very unbalanced without the panel..
To be truthful I don't like the squirrel, I think the taxidermist could have done a betetr Job on that tail.
The Deer looks Good.
