put him looking toward the left toward the front door so its the first thing people see when they walk in.

It would help a great deal if the photos were orientated properly but I voted right turn because of the broken left g-2 and also because of the split g-4, one you want to hide (unless your gonna have it fixed) and the other you want to highlight !!!

Nice Bull !!

I vote for a right turn, shows that incredible bulls mass so well in my opinion.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

I'll vote neither - I like the skull too much!  (No offense to the taxis out there!)
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I love the form your going with, and I really don't think it matters which way from the rack's standpoint.  I'd go with what works best in your house (thinking about possible moves, etc).  I generic sneak can go anywhere and look great even in narrow areas of the house.  Like the right side a bit better but I'd choose based on where it's going to reside.
