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.
Looks great!
Bloody good head, looks great
Looks good in the corner there!
Really nice head way to go!
Stonker!
Looks great!!! Perfect trophy red imo
Noice!! Love the tops.
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
Looks damn good in the pix, a real nice trophy.
What are you disappointed with? Looks bloody good to me but the stain on the antlers looks a bit off
Its a bloody nice head,shame about the taxidermists progress on the job.
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
classic head mounted in the classic style.....enjoy it.
I cut a head mount 3 mths ago doing a job for a taxidermist,stitched it up and it looked alright.Glad you have kept this professional an not named the taxidermist @bigbear.
Its a bloody hard job and time frame but the fella should of stuck to his word.Glad its on your wall now.
Impressive.
Don't be disappointed, to me that stag looks alive in the photos and that is what you want. Only spiders will see the repairsQuote:

Great trophy, and the taxidermy looks very well done.
Like the heading. Finally on the wall. Got mine back today, shot it in 96. Rapped with the job by Vern and Louise Pearson. Attachment 116598 :thumbsup::thumbsup:
That head skin looks familiar :thumbsup: You sure are right it looks very impressive, will see it soon.
Shot in 96 has it been hiding at the taxidermist that long?Quote:

The photo does not do it justice, the mount is with head down and turned. When you walk in my front door he is looking straight at you. Certainly looks real. :)
Nice trophys boys,well done.
