Question for Taxidermists

[Trueblue]

My 13 yr old son shot his first deer this year and he decided that he wanted it mounted on a plaque european style.When we picked it up it appeared as if they must have boiled about 8 inches up both sides of the rack and then used stain that was too dark to recolor it.In my opinion it does not look good.Does this sound like standard procedure or should they have taken more care not to boil the rack ?

When the rack is boiled the horns should NOT be in the pot. I place wire on top to hold them.

ya thats just shitty work if i was you never take anything back there again and take to an experieneced taxidermist and they will be able to get them back to normal for ya. But that is a super nice mule deer.
