Whitetail Unreal Features?

They maybe a tad over exaggerated but do belong , more seen on early season deer but definitely not wrong . He spent extra time to do that and you should be glad he did . Most don’t put the time in to show details like that . Take a small wire or firm brush and brush it straight downward, it will soften the look some . Ears are correct as wrinkles are alway there , but again most don’t take the time to show .

 

I agree there's way more correct than incorrect on your mount. You might want to take a brush and brush across the jaw line to soften it little. The wrinkles in front of the ear are correct to be there, can't see from the pic how deep they are but you can see them when the ears are back. Just asking did you ask these questions to your taxidermist when you picked it up? If not I feel you should have as he could have explained the reasons things where put where they are. You still could have the opinion he's still wrong but you'd understand his intent. JMO

 

I can see the wrinkles in the ear butts on that last kill shot. A dead deer has deflated features.

 

That is a nice looking mount. The lower jaw is a little exaggerated. Ears are good. It may be possible to soften the lower jaw with a little targeted rehydration to get the skin to come out of the grooves some. Id be proud to hang that up on my wall.
A taxidermist with a receptionist? That is awesome!!!

 

Just wet down that jaw area a little and brush it to soften the wrinkles. You can do the same on the ear butts if you don't like that too. It really doesn't look bad to me though, however I do find the shape of the bridge of the nose a bit odd. I've never seen a form like that before. Anybody have a guess which form was used.

 

Those stating wet it down, remember he is not a taxidermist and could be asking for trouble by doing such , you have no clue of the hide paste used . You could be opening a can of worms by doing so, like drumming.

i believe the way the picture was taken is why the head looks the way it does.

 

If you just spray it a little with a water bottle sprayer, or wipe it with a wet cloth, then the water will only wet the hair and will not cause any issues.

 

You may try steaming it with a clothing steamer.
