Caj,
I would HIGHLY recomend for you as well as everyone else to purchase the Breakthrough Deer Mounting Manual.
Most all the suppliers carry them and will show you step by step all that you'll need to know.

Have a great day and good luck to ya,
Dave

......also use a close up reference photo(s)of a deer eye and make your clay work show the detail of the live deer eyes. You'll be much happier with the end result than the pre-set eyes. You can change the expression/eye rotation giving your mount a more life like look. Practice and good reference material are the key. Good Luck, Kent
