I jsut mounted a whitetail deer for competition using Meder eyes and was wondering what would be acceptable to the judges as far as the white in the Eyes go. I have the white showing in the front of the right eye and the white showing in the back of the left eye. my concern is the amount if white showing in the back of left eye. the white shows in the back center and extends down to the rear bottom of eye. is that okay or should it just be in the center. I hope that makes sense.

Fred check your reference on the eyes, If you have reference to back up your expression for the judges to see, it's hard to argue good reference pics take your time, babysit the heck out of it and have fun.
Fred the next time youar out a hunten sneek up behind an old busk and kick him right between the legs I garantee you there will be 3/8 inch of white around both eyes you capture that expresion an youll be a world renound taxidermist Yep I garantee it
Think about it?
white even in the back of one eye. seriously, how many pics have you ever seen with a deer that shows the white in the corner of his eye? the only ones i have seen are from deer that are spooked or nervous and their eyes are open wider than in a normal state or after i've shot one and it dropped but was still alive. when i walked up to the deer it's eyes usually look like they are gonna pop out of it's head because it is so scared. you need to look at more reference photos.
