[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 411922, member: 21068"] Looks like it's gonna be a while before I can post pics. I got the mount back, but didn't like the pose. In my opinion, the neck was outstretched too far and too straight, and the head was too far below the shoulders. If we rotated it so the head was above the shoulders, then it's nose was pointing in the air instead of slightly down. I requested to have an open mouth too, to more resemble a running deer mount that I'd seen in Cabelas at Rapid City SD, but I didn't like that either after I got it home and looked at it. I had 4 other people look at it too, they all agreed that it didn't look like a running deer, more like a tired deer or one on the tail of a "hot doe". I decided to return it to the taxidermist to have it re done with a different pose/manaquin and the mouth closed, which he is going to do, but it will be another couple months now. He'll have to replace the original cape too unfortunately. But since this is a real special buck, I want a real special mount too. Something I will always look at and be impressed with, rather than look at and wish it looked different. [/QUOTE]
