Thread: First Deer shoulder mount

Lot of lessons learnt from this one, feeling good going into the next.

Well done

Take photos from other angles so we can get better look please. Love the ears...not poking out straight looks much better than the old classic style.

Sure thing I'll take some more. Feel free to judge this novice.

The nose and the ears is a big learning curve,
but he looks very similar to how he looked up on the hill so I'm stoked with that.

Nice detail,you got some skill there Roy.Well done.

Awesome well done!

Thank you! Means a lot.

Great job,thanks for adding extra photos,the first one had weird proportion thing going on that made it look like hugely long face and tiny neck,your other photos shot this is not really the case.

It's definitely just your camera .the second photo looks the same,like face is bigger than shield but,later photo from rear gives opposite proportions. I like what you have done,great job,it will only ever improve as you do more and gain experience.

A tip for taking photos of them is stand way back and zoom in at least to around 3-5X zoom. Gets it all into proportion

Good on you for having a go.it’s an art form for sure keep at it.like you say you would have learned a lot.
I’m very perticular about taxidermy I can’t even look twice at some of the mounts people pay for,I’d be inclined to saw my antlers off in the shop and leave
