Glen, I know you have allot of reference and I am in need of some. I bought 3 of your disks from research but didn't find what i needed on those. I put a post on for this but wasn't sure if you would see it so i am posting directly to you. I started with an upright straight form and i want to have the deer reaching almost straight up and it will be turned slightly to the left. I need a picture of the throat area where the neck and head come together. This is a summer deer so the detail in that area will be critical. I would be glad to purchase anything you have that shows this. E mail me or call 440-724-2765. Thanks

I think I may have what you need. It might take me a little time to find the photos, I do have sheer numbers to contend with, and they are stored on floppy disk.
The angle between the first cervical and the lower mandible opens up, and dips in, and the larynx will be more pronounced.
The area between each of the lower mandibles will differ with what the deer is doing with it's mouth and tongue. For example, if the deer has it's mouth open, and tongue out, that area will have a depression in front of the larynx almost to a line up with the mouth corners. If closed mouth, it will tend to be more "flat", like in stretched skin.
What you will also need will be measurements of larynx length and width.
If I haven't got back with you in a couple of days, shoot me an e-mail.
That address had best be an industrial strength mailbox. Photos sent.
Those photos should be what you are needing. Can't find those kind at Wally World. Let me know one way or the other.
Glen
