I hear ya, Landon. I trust Jerry. He asks all the right questions.....and knows what I'm looking for. At first, I was worried that the rack wouldn't be "highlighted" so much. Then, I just said to myself...."he is what he is". I wanted him mounted like I saw him when I took him. I'll post up photos when I get him.
Here is a buck I shot a couple of Thanksgiings ago. I just got to mounting him a couple of months ago, this is a full sneek upright left form. If a full sneek is done with the ears right it wont look like a deer in the headlights.
I have a Mckenzie full sneak head up series. It is a little different than the Thompson that you chose.
