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.

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.

RE: How am I doing??

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
