re: Thoughts on this Deer Mount?

You drug that buck off the mountain. Probably messed up the cape a bit doing that.
If the cape was bad, the taxi should have told you that they couldn’t use the cape and would need one from another buck. Get a different taxidermist next time.
I’ve got a buck with a scar on his shoulder. It looks like someone screwed up skinning it. He had the same scar in trailcam picks.
