JUST RECEIVED A DEER FROM SC. THE DEER SEEMS SMALLER AND MORE NAROW FACED THAN NORTHERN DEER. WHICH MANNIKIN WOULD BE BEST FOR THESE SMALL SOUTHERN DEER. READ THE ARCHIVES AND NOW I AM MORE CONFUSED THAN WHEN I STARTED SEARCHING. THE DEER WAS 3 1/2 YRS. OLD AND WEIGHED 175 LIVE ST. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

He's out of North Carolina, that might help. Alot of his forms capture that "southern deer" look.
If he dosen't have one to suit your needs try Joe Coombs. My friend mounts over 150 deer heads each year and all he will use is Joe's forms because of this very reason. I've used several and been very pleased. Joe Coombs 48555 Hwy 445 Loranger, Louisiana 70446
If this still dosen't work I have a few more that might.
Good Luck!
I hope those perpetuating that deer size argument read this. Here a buck that old would weigh close to 300 pounds live weight.
Now, Mr. Jackson. How about hitting that "Caps Lock" key and stop SHOUTING. It's easier to read and we can help you faster. To answer you question, Gene Smith is sculpting some very nice mannikins directly from deer in your region. Might want to try his as well.
