Beautiful mount bud, I have never really been a fan of the mounts with the ears laid back... but it really works on your buck... must be the shape of his antlers! One thing that I noticed recently while looking at the McKenzie Taxidermy catalog is that they are now offering add-on's for shoulder mounts. They have some that are fake rocks and fake logs... they look really easy to install and they really look to help make the mount look better. I am planning on trying a few out on my buck and seeing how it turns out... might be something for everybody with shoulder mounts to check out!
