    Viewed on my laptop, your guy is stuck on the wall, head and antlers pointing to 3 o clock instead of 12 o clock.

    That's quite a sense of humour you've got going there.

    Pretty happy to finally get it back, had to go back and look at the old photos just to remind myself.
    Haven't had any other work done by a taxidermist but i'd have to say its a pretty average job and i am a bit disappointed

    What are you disappointed with? Looks bloody good to me but the stain on the antlers looks a bit off

    just the damage to the head skin , there has been three repairs done on the neck area. three tears looked to stitched up, id stay prep work while thinning the head skin. Wish i had seen this while picking it up.
    The antlers are a bit light in colour due to been shot early march, hadn't really had a chance to rub up. Still quite ruff on the antler from not having time rubbing them up. I am happy with the antlers that is what it was like when i shot it. Taxidermist put a coat of linseed oil on them before i picked it up
