Take the backside of a butterknife and tuck the hair that is frayed out against the wall back behind the deer. The taxidermist who mounted it should have done that during the drying proccess so that when you got it, the hairs would already be turning in that direction. Sometimes it is the little things that help them look just that much better. I love the mount and your taxidermist did a great job. I love that relaxed look. Good job

How wide is that?

Where are you supposed to measure it? widest point inside?
Title: Re: got my buck back today
Post by: whacker1 on April 13, 2009, 05:53:19 PM: Any dimension you can give would be good.

Widest outside?

Widest inside?

Length of main beam?

It looks tall, but can't tell if it is the picture or if it really is as tall as it looks.

Title: Re: got my buck back today
Post by: shoot-em-dead on April 13, 2009, 06:02:30 PM: Widest point inside is a little over 18 inches and he is just under 18 inches tall.

Post by: whacker1 on April 13, 2009, 06:05:18 PM: It is a very nice buck for the cheney area.

I suspected that the Velvet was making it appear much bigger to me than what it really was. I would have guessed well over 20 inside spread, but that is just my inability to gauge these velvet bucks.

I must say they that they do look very good while still in velvet. Nicely done.
