take a better picture....

The only thingI would trade for that thing is some bad publicity.
You'd be better to offer him a hundred dollars and sever all ties.
Not professional grade.

On second thought, instead of guiding him on a hunt, just tell him "where to go".

The eyes have too much clay, and aren't anatomically correct. The ears are atrocious. The nose is out of whack and the lip line could have been done drunk. And I am being nice. Can't tell for sure but it also looks like the horns are set wrong. I would do as above suggestion and give him $100 and walk away.The best I can say is that the hair patterns on the ears aren't off too bad. I know this sounds mean but I am being honest. If this guy is a friend of your, tell him to join his state taxidermy association and buy videos about mounting deer. That may have been acceptable 20 -30 yrs ago but does not come close to todays standard.

all i will say is a thought my first one was bad! this thing i would even have returned it to you! nctaxi, is right he needs alot of training before he starts trading and charging for taxi work. wow!

i will admit i am not the best taxi in the world but after only a few it should show some look towards a real deer. this was the 20th mount i have done.

On third thought, I would cut the horns off and throw the rest in the garbage. Give the guy nothing but a one finger salute. That is incredibly bad stuff.
I'm not bragging but if that guy gets money to do this, I should be a millionaire.
