A friend of mine is a taxidermist and owed me a couple of favors so he talked me into mounting it...I normally would just take him the caps to use on others heads that were neck shot or screwed up during field dressing or capping...
He looked at this deer in awe for several minutes then started measuring the skull for a form...The eye to nostril measurement was a full half inch longer than any form made and the neck measurement was 2 inched larger than he has ever mounted...Said he will have to basically cut the form in quarters and lengthen the skull to fill the cape...
