Target Sizing.

I'm getting some silhouette targets profiled as a favour for a client. I've got the two shapes below but need to scale them to approximately life-size.
Can one of you guys put some rough measurements on them? Front on from one ear tip to the other ear tip would be easiest. For the side profile from the nose tip to the back of the head would be easiest to measure.
When I'm done I can email out files and contacts to anyone who wants one cut.
Cheers.

If you cover your right eye and blink with the left eye really fast the top silhouette turns into a different animal.

That helps a lot .... NOT !!
Unless the animal it becomes is the same size and you can tell us what that one measures

I have just remembered that an old friend of mine that lives down the road is a hunter and also a taxidermist and I am sure that he has some deer down there.
The only question he may ask is what type of deer ???
I will try and catch up with him tomorrow or Sunday.

That'd be great.
I have no idea what sort of deer, all my shooting has been either clay target or pest destruction (rabbits, birds etc).

The image displayed is that of a Whitetail deer, or Virginia deer.
estimate around 350mm from muzzle to back of skull.
