Looks like your doing a great job.
That mount really looks pretty darn good for a rookie.

I think they look great. What kind of forms do you like using, McKenzie, Coombs, etc. ?
I purchase almost everything from McKenzie.......and try to only use Meder forms for whitetail. I do purchase a few deer forms from Research because I like their "not quite 90" pose.

I'm going to try to use only Meder forms next year because I feel they are by far the most accurate.

Thanks all for the comments. I feel I've come a long way in just a couple of years.
Joe Meder forms are the best in my opinion, I have to agree. I use the Brad Eppley " Tru Eyes " in these forms and they look really good.

Lots of practice on your eyes. Whitetails are always very alert. So there eyes are always more open then yours.

i like the "lazy eye'' look myself. IMO your one of the best. i'd drive to indiana to get my deer mounted by you but eh, your a whole nother state over:D beautiful. i love your mounts

Joe Meder taught me how to do the eyes. He even gave me cast to use as reference.

I will definitly take a look at the eyes......but I feel they are right on (could just be the photos)

Thanks for the heads-up.

hey, looking good. i did notice that the eyes are not symetrical. a good site to get feed back by other taxidermist is taxidermy.net.
it isa learning process, and takes time. i know because i have been critiqued and it helps when people point little things out and next time it looks that much better. good luck
