RE: Pros please rate quality of tax. work
that is not a pro-mount.
The ear butts are incorrect, the eye size is incorrect the ear position is incorrrect, there is no lip line or lip showing in the front, and i can't say anything about the nose because I can't see it, ears should not cover the antlers either.

RE: Pros please rate quality of tax. work
I agree, shotty work indeed. A couple of local taxidermist here in Pa cut alot of corners to produce quantity, not quality. The lower lip is real evident in that perspective. Alot of guys have 300 head laying there and want to pound out as quickly as possible. They leave out detail and order standard parts such as eyeballs by mass quantity andMAKE them work even though they don't look that great. Check out some new Taxidermist, check somebodies mount at their house and look for those little features and find out who they used. Alex the hawk, your work would is hard to find around here, nice work!!

The poster ask for opinions! Apparently most of you haven't seen Alex's work. Hehas been a tax in Miami, Fl. for manyyears and is considered a porfessional taxidermist by many. He does excellent work on fish also.
He has posted many of his mounts on this forum and they are nothing to be ashamed of. Don't get me wrong, there are other Tax on this forum that are pro's also, but Alex is one of them!

RE: Pros please rate quality of tax. work
As I see it, its the eye opening thats wrong, not so much eye size. Also, ears can sometimes cover antlers, otherwise I have some live deer that are wrong too, lol. Actually, the problem with this one is the lack of earbutt, that is, shape, placement and anatomy, so the ear angle is left to chance. I seldom "judge" work in here, but those are just some quick observations, poor picture quality notwithstanding. Hope that helps someone.
