i dont know how to post pics yet still learning, but there just a set of four by fours with some garbage on the  right side, its a bench buck but i figure that any one of those three will do, the size that  im looking for is from nose to front cover of eye around 5 to 5 1/2 and circufernces of the  neck around 15 1/2 to 18 1/2 the guy dosent have a whole of room so he asked if i could mount as a little bit of a smaller body deer so i said why not....thanks

5" - 5 1/2".  You mounting a fawn?  An 18" Blacktail Cape will normally be around 6" - 6 1/4" eye to nose.  Mule Deer and Bench Bucks will normally have 6 1/4 - 6 1/2" eye to nose.

You don't want the deer to look like a giraff with a big rack.  Seeing the horns and some measurments of the antlers would really help.  I wouldn't mount it on anything less than 18" Cape.
