Matt Baer has submitted a whitetail for critiquing on Critics' Corner on hidetanning.net. He is wanting suggestions so he can move in the direction of competition. He is from Ohio, and we all know that Ohio has produced more than it's fair share of outstanding whitetail taxidermists. So give him some critiques, and show NO MERCY!

Thanks Glen and Heath, I was wondering if I would be getting any king of info back after I pre register? I sent all my info in 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back. Just wondering. Can't wait for the show, glad it's so close. See ya there.
by the time you guys get through making Matt feel at home, and then feed him, you never will be able to get him to leave.
Matt, Heath and Hilton used to work together at the old Buckeye Mannikins plant. The impact that the guys that made up that crew has had on modern whitetail taxidermy CAN NOT be denied. You are in for one loaded week-end. Opportunities for learning like Heath has outlined above do not come along every day. Hands on learning, free food, free form, what more could a feller ask for?
I know! Let's ask Heath for a critique on your whitetail mount! C'mon, Heath, you can do it! (nothin' like puttin' a feller on the spot)
Jeff Morris has submitted the first critique, which is now posted on the page. Thanks, Jeff!
He hasn't changed a bit over time. He still just jumps right in there and gets 'r done!
Matt, Heath has added to your page. Once everybody reads Heath's comments, future submitters will be thinkin', "Boy, I hope that Heath guy critiques my mount."
Thanks, Heath, yer a heck of a good sport.
