I am mounting a spike buck that has the hair gone on the left side of its nose.It is bald from the nose pad up about 2 inches and about an inch wide,it looks like a drag mark.Is there anything i can do to repair it or hide it?

It's a little hard to tell without seeing the damage, but an early season face gash is real hard to hide completely. You could try to cut out the damage and sew or glue it, but I'm betting it will look worse. I've applied appoxy clay to small spots like that, textured it with a tooth brush to look like hair, then airbrushed it to match. I've never done it with anything bigger than a dime though.
