very nice!! Man I still cant see a difference in the eyes.   Looks great to me. Course I dont have an eye for it.  No pun intended

Nice work Charlie!  When I look deep into the eye of this buck, it's almost as if you're in there!

Nice work Charlie, love the eye shape and carrunkle (spelling?) We haven't mounted a blacktail yet. Don't get many over here. They have short wide faces don't they? Kind of cool looking. Have you tried the new forms from McKenzie in the mulie line yet? We just did our first one and I really like the extra detail. Arm pits are a lot deeper or should I say leg pits? The septum is way different on the new ones. It will take some getting used to.

Actually Cberg, the mckenzie Muley line is ok for young bucks , I have gotten away from using them, I spent way too much time remodeling the form to look more like a muley. Lancaster forms out of Trufitt manikins is about the best Muley forms I have found. Still have to work the head over a bit to get the right Muley look, but way better than McKenzie IMO. The lancaster forms in research are nice too but are different than the trufitt line.

Oh and the Blacktail faces arent all short and wide, they vary drastically. I have to take eye width measurements on most blacktails I get in and sculpt from there. I have found that you have to make a head for each individual deer you do basically. Eye widths , nose widths are really going to help. Ive not found a blacktail head yet that fis correctly. I am always trying new things with blacktails. But thats just me and my opinion. I got a couple blacktails drying that are pretty nice. One has a super wide and short face , the other is narrow. Huge differance in deer. Those are mounted with all measurements I take.

Very nice, makes me want to get my 4x6 horns mounted on a head.  I was planning on it when I got another old roman nosed grey faced buck. 

Need a job!!! Need a job!!!!
