Dude, that is beautiful... My uncle dabbles in mounting deer heads, and the next mount he is doing we were trying to decide on doing a "ruttin' look" just like you've done here... You've convinced me it can be done, and done well...
Are you at High Uintah Taxidermy in Coalville..?
Is this a Chalk Creek buck...?
Just curious my friend...
