Default Got my Whitetail Mount Back from the Taxidermist

I'm pretty happy with it, figured I'd share a photo, not the best angle I shot from, it is a 5x5, the antlers are hiding a point from this angle. You can compare it to my avatar, as that is the same deer, when it was first shot.

I think the bulging youmentionis partially because of the photo and the coloration around the eye, doesn't seem to bulge in person. I paid about 425 dollars for the mount I think the guy did a pretty good job. Here is a lot better angled photo that shows all 10 points and what looks like what could have been the beginings of an 11th if the deer lived another year or two.

I like the second picture. Good looking mount. Must feel good to finally have it up on your wall.
