is it just me or does the horns look like they are pointed way too far up?

  looks like a mount you would see in a 80 year old tavern.

i wouldnt be to happy either, idk about natures way because i havent seen any of their work but i have heard good things, i have always used jack paige who own mineral lake taxi, and jack lives eats and breaths blacktail, he knows what they look like i can tell ya that, but after he retires fully i will be taking my stuff to BUCKLUCKY for sure, good luck sundance, its a damn shame that stuff like that has to happen...

I would be upset too.

Looks like those bucks on the old Tink's 69 commercials.

First off, nice freakin' buck! Second, I'm saddened and sick looking at that mount, that's terrible. 

[jackmaster]

It's still hanging on the fence outside, can't bring myself to allow it in my house. Thankfully I picked up some nice beer the other day.....

sad thing is, you probably already paid for it, i am thinkn maybe you can hopefully come up with a new cape, doesnt look like the dude took good enough care to keep the hair from slipping and lord knows what is going on with the nose, dude that friggin sucks man, i hate seeing stuff like that, can you say what taxi did it so no one else gets jacked? again great buck, i hope you get it figured out man..

Close inspection at time of full payment would have been in order.  That's a terrible job for that price. (terrible anyway, but newbies have to start somewhere).  I say... Post the name of the taxi but don't rant about him/her. UNLESS, that taxi hasn't agree'd to fix most/all of what you point out. There are a few things I'd let go, as hides/fur does change a little when the cape is tanned. I like the natural look of a cowlick and off-color, in hair. If you had measurements of the antlers in the scull, they should match the form fit.  I'd get things fixed or get some money back. You should get what you paid for.

Very Sad, he was a beautiful buck.  My wife shot a huge blacktail about 20 years ago and we brought him to a taxidermist (had never seen his work before) that we had never used before.  Went to pick him up....opened the shop door...my jaw dropped  Her buck looked like the guy had used mascara around the eyes and black lip gloss on his mouth!  I was in such shock that I was speechless... I know how you feel Sundance, it only takes once to learn the hard lesson...it stays with you a looong time.  My  is to save up and get him re-mounted by someone that has a proven track record.

Just tell us it's none of the taxi's on this site.

I feel sick for you as well. That is an awesome buck to have screwed up like that. The individual pics are bad enough, but when i saw the full pic and i saw the deer was smiling...wtf?...it did make me laugh ( sorry) but then i felt guilty and I'm back to feeling your pain. Enjoy all your beers!

[sirmissalot]

Sorry about your luck. Beautiful buck though.

[cedarriver]

 Gorgeous buck! Sorry about the mount!
   Depending on how it was tanned you might be able to have someone remount for you, with original skin, but I wouldn't wait to long. It's risky, but it gets more risky the longer you wait.

Signs of good Character there Sundance!

Very nice buck, terrible mount.  It would be great if you could somehow get the remount paid for with funds you already paid to the original "taxidermist".  I'd be all over that guy to make him think twice about taking the next guy for the ride he took you for.

[C-Money]

is it just me or does the horns look like they are pointed way too far up?

I though so too.

Sorry you did not get what you paid for. Hope one of the sponsors on here can get it looking better. Very nice buck though!!
