tech support, yes friendly, open for discussion:) see you this wknd D .
I like the look of this wall ped . Now I have one mounted in the shop to stare at . Nice form . Easy to mount on .
What is up with throat patch. Could be picture but looks out of lined and pulled to far up. Looks like neck on form was to big for this deer.
Gary the post says just mounted . Not finished . Thanks .
My bad like to see it when your are done. I just mounted a tall 8 on that same form looks a lot like your deer.
.
It looks like according to reference that the white patch isn’t turning the way the deer are .
Well looking at your pictures you are right. But to me even the live deers throat patch is not right lol.
No I do, I have seen a lot of mounts done on this form and never seen one with the throat patch that far off to the side. I’m not saying its right or wrong by no mean. I know you should not go by other mounts but go to the HQ catalog and look at the mounts on that same form and you will see what I mean. I also notice in your pictures that most of the deer are looking behind them which gives them more turn at the head which would throw the white patch off to the side more. Sorry if you got up set I was only trying to help. Gary
. I’m not up upset . Just using reference of live deer to show me . I can always learn something new .
The deer in the third picture is standing broadside and the head is facing the camera . I can’t see white on the left side . He’s turned at a 90 degree angle . Not looking back . That’s just what I’m seeing .
This deer is turned 90 degree’s . Not looking back . No white past right side of the jawline .

I have been watching this thread all day hoping it wouldn’t go south. I would like to applaud both of you for handling it as you have. No name calling or bad mouthing, just a good ole fashioned discussion.
I see Gary’s side as cosmetically it looks better if the throat patch was centered, I also see how Hackleback was reading the live reference pics and interpreted what he seen.
I would like to thank both of you for handling this as gentlemen and not getting bent out of shape about it. Thats what this site is all about.
…..and just food for thought, if someone post a pic. of their work but do not ask for a critique, I don’t give a critique. I will just find something positive to say or just not say anything at all.
Some members post pics of their work here because they like to participate without being scrutinized, and I think it’s only fair that they get that chance to do so as a member of this forum family.
now that we are having a discussion:D i would like to hear some other opinions on throat patch alignment. i think it should be shifted with the neck not centered with the lower jaw

We always shift them with the neck, very similar to how hackleback/ Jody does it. I would say he is correct with his alignment.
