    So my take on this from having live deer . This is all I’m saying . They’re not on steroids . Even in the summer IMG_8074.png

    What is it you are saying? That deer has wrinkles where they belong on a fairly hard turn, and they are not overdone like we sometimes see.

    I see no deep muscle detail in that pic. Just some wrinkles that All deer exhibit when they do a hard turn. What we are talking about is if you took that pic and added a deep groove down the center of the front of the neck causing a deep separation between the two. Then go to the pot sides of that muscle group and put deep grooves between that muscle and the muscle that wraps around from the back.

    Exactly my point. Here’s an example of what I consider over done. Damn thing looks like a Sharpe. Lol 57F2340D-7E3D-40D7-B690-1B2541E70603.png

    yes they don’t look like that no matter what even right now when they have there early season cote the most muscle definition is on the sides of the front two neck muscles . Some mounts are just over done

    Ok, thanks. I wasn't sure what you were saying. I agree many are overdone, but their customers aren't mine and vise versa.

    It's very sad what happened to our wildlife in Canada, almost to the point of disgusted...but that's just me.

    He unfortunately, made a fortune, over-sculpting OTHER peoples forms, and sold them as his own! When he started, he actually sculpted his own, and also had an in-shop sculptor sculpting ... but later got greedy and stupid, thinking he could get away with stealing from others. Unfortunate ...
