Picked up my Blacktail buck from 2012 today, good news is it was only a 4 month turn around, bad news is I'm very disappointed with the quality of the mount. This is a very good buck that I took extremely good care of and caped myself with zero flaws. There are very noticeable flaws in the mount that I feel is poor quality and leaves me with a hollow feeling. Now I am going to have him touched up by a third party to see if we can make him more presentable. Some pictures to show why I am less then happy with the results.

Pic 1:The nose has been plugged, and poorly IMO
Pic 2:Poor job on tucking the lips and no cover paint
Pic 3:Visible hair slippage under the chin
Pic 4: Funny looking brisket/hair not laying correctly

More pics in a few.....

I was wondering if you knew the deer would be done in 4 months and had you seen any of their work?

I was at Nature's Way last Friday dropping off my bull and saw the new mount.  He wasn't done quite yet.  You are gonna be very happy.  I looked at everything throughout his shop and WOW.  Michael does outstanding work.  I'm so glad I chose him and you will be too.

It looks a lot better than the job that was done on mine.  I about crapped when I saw the deer I shot last year vs. how it was mounted.

 :drool: :drool:   I never got tired of looking at the harvest photos last year, and this mount truly represents that buck as it should! Great work :tup: And congratz Sundance on a gorgeous buck.

That is a nice looking mount, and a whole hell of a lot better than what you started with!  Wow, a really nice resurrection for that trophy.
