Thanks guys. I thought the same thing and had the notion of saying something but didn't. I usually take my heads to a veteran taxi that does incredible work, but i wanted a quicker turn-around on this particular deer and i paid for it. Learned a lesson.....patience is a virtue. Thanks again!

This is a buck that my regular taxidermist did for me...this buck was a pig and you can tell in the mount...excellent work, which is why I went back time after time.....can't beat a patient and meticulous taxi!

Mount
 
I think your Taxi did a very nice job on the mount itself. Everything looks nice and proportioned well. Sorry you're not happy with the neck size. I try to measure the deer in front of my clients ( if they are not frozen) so we both know what the measurements are and what to expect on the finished mount. I order the form from the neck size AFTER IT HAS BEEN SKINNED.The finished mount will reflect the size that the neck was when I measured it in front of the client.

I don't think the cape on the mount is even the same deer. The mount has a double throat patch which doesn't show up on your field photograph. Your taxi may have swapped out a smaller neck sized cap for the mount he gave you and kept the big boy's cape for himself.

Great buck to bad he put it on the wrong form.

naaa, the buck that i shot did have the double throat patch, thats how i know it was a trimming/form ordering issue. but good observation!
