just got my mount back from the taxidermist and am impressed with the work i received on this buck the buck was never shot they are sheds i picked up 3 years ago.
You say the buck was never shot...was he stabbed or hit with a club or choked out in a wrestling match or what? Or maybe you meant he's still alive, but he looks dead in the picture...I dunno
id say freezer burnt
ive seen a few deer mounted that have goofy ears cuz they got freezer burnt and the hair fell out of the inside portion of the ears
