Another cheap mount that looks very nice. Not close enough pics to pick it apartbesides you dont need any opinions on it I know you love it cuz I've seen your other posts on it....... Here is my 2 cents on it. Taxi is way to cheap, you need to first level the deer (you level them by leveling the eyes not the form, and second you need to take a comb andgo around his hair against the wall to make the hair look nice and clean. Nothing is more heartbreaking to a taxi than when the customer doesnt take care of their mounts and make them the most presentable they can be when theyve worked so hard to do so themselves. I know it annoys me when I see nice mounts that people just throw around. Not pointing this at you just venting, haha, sry... Level it and give it a comb job and your golden man.WCL

Thanks wingchaser. What exactly do you mean by combing the hair against the wall?

See how your hair against the wall looks scruffy?? If you take a flat comb and start at the top (middle) on each side angle the comb towards the deer andbrush the hair against the wall and down the side where it meets the wall all in one motion doing it many times along the edge until you reach the bottom. Then repeat on the other side. Basic idea is to get those long edgehairs behind your mount so you have a nice clean edge and it looks like your deer is comin out of the wall. Your mount will look super clean (it is already a very clean mount). Get him leveled and combed and take and postanother pic like your second one you posted and i bet you see a world of difference. The mount does look really good and is worth way more than $350 I'lltell ya that. WCL
