Fantastic recovery there Joe that first picture is just scarey looking I would have had a hard time paying a guy for a deer that came out looking like that nice that you could bring it back to the luster it should have had to start with.
I ended up paying the other taxi all the money up front. He messed up my elk euro mount also.
How do you mess up a Euro...? 
Did he forget the skull...?
The Elk euro mount was also done by Strait arrow Taxidermy at the same time as the deer. .
look at the pics and you be the judge!
Well, you are right. He screwed that up, no doubt about that. Wow. I thought I was a crappy taxidermist...
So, Michelle's probably right. He boiled the damn nose bones right off that sucker. Wow. That's a LOT of boiling. I mean a LOT. I have overboiled skulls before and never had the nose bones fall off. I am talking put-that-puppy-in-the-boiling-water-and-leave-for-the-weekend overboiling...
...either that, or he dropped it....
Someone please confirm for me that this guy is out of business...
