I agree with HH. I'm no taxi expert, but I do spend a LOT of time examining and studying mule deer and their behaviour. I've also seen a lot of live bucks in the sneek position, and I dont recall ever seing one where the whites of his eyes show up that prominant from the frontal view. Usually, in the sneek postion, the eyes are looking forward therefore there tends to be less white. . .
Deer are pray, their eyes are on the sides of their heads so that they can see behined them and to the sides - watching for predators - unlike a cat or a predator who's eyes are face forward and when we look forward you can see white, not so much with deer.
I would recomend less white all together, in most cases, unless a buck is really straining to see something, this goes for elk too - you should not see a whole lot of white in the eye - ever . . .
Here are a few examples. . . Never mind the picture quality, or the crops, these are deep crops into lager shots and are compressed files to make them small.
I have taxi's call me any buy pages of shots of mule deer heads in different positions, just so they have them for reference.
I hope you dont take offence to my post. You asked for our opininons. . .
I'll give you permision to down load those shots, print them, and take them with you when you talk to him.
Piece.
