Looks much better- more realistic and almost looks like a different deer. Now if you really want to make it look even better, get it off that ugly steel door and onto a nice wall. Lol.

The original was completely formed up with playdoh, yes playdoh lol and some sort of twine it was ridiculous. The eye sockets still moved bc playdoh never set up. it was horrible. I saved the old form and am going to set an old skull cap back on it and use it in the woods, either with the trail cameras or as a joke with my neighbor during season lol.

Were you able to save the old hide or was that a total loss?

Total loss. A 215lbs dressed whitetail turned into a 2 yr old looking doe lol. Plus he used borax or some sort on the inside of the hide instead of fleshing it and tanning it!! What a joke. b21cb9d1c10aa0453ecc04a62e16e7ed.jpg

I like my redo mount but wish I could have my original cape back. Beautiful early October hide with lots of white on the brisket. The replacement looks pretty close. I forgot the play-doh though...damn it!!!

I have a re-do myself. Definitely lesson learned ! Looks awesome, and prob feels real good to finally do that deer justice.

Agreed. Lesson learned. The original cape would have been nice but this one is a big boy and a beauty with color. Dark for head too.
