Did my taxidermist fuck up?

For context shot this in late November froze right away and taken to taxidermist next day after. This was head before taken to taxidermist and the mount is after it was done. Did he mess up cuz that looks small as hell compared to the fat pig of a head I'm holding up and super short for how long the cape was. I'm kind of upset because it wasn't sewn completely in two spotss on back of neck either like it wouldn't fit. It's a smaller mount than my last two and it was a big bodied deer
