When I shot my first sable, the PH asked what I thought at the time was a strange question: "Which way do you want the head turned when it's mounted?"
Turns out the question was not so strange at all. Sables almost always are mounted with their heads turned. To hide the stitches down the back of the animal's neck, the skinner needs to cut along the side of a sable's mane that will not show when the mount is on your wall.
