Are your measurements taken off a dry tanned skin or are they taken from the field after skinning or are the measurements taken from a soaked (pliable tanned skin from soaking in water for 30 minutes and let soften overnight)skin that has been left in a plastic bag overnight and measured in the morning, all of these questions results will yield different sizes of the skin. 8 1/4 nose to eye is a long faced antelope, the neck measurement can be had with stretching the skin after soaking.
