    Trim or not?

    Giving this skin to Dad tomorrow for dad day (he shot it).
    I had it professionally tanned and it is nice and supple but I just think I should trim it to a smooth outline rather than the obvious stretching, tacking points.

    Opinions please..... freshly sharpened knife in hand.
