Great Trophy

Post by: Tsalt on January 26, 2014, 08:29:00 PM
Thanks for the comments guys.  

Michael - no, I didn't get him aged or scored.  The taxidermist said he was definitely an older buck.  I don't think he would have scored very high being just a six point.

Beautiful buck, great photos, and congratulations!  I am so eager for my first season with traditional gear since I was 16 and new nothing about what I was doing.
Title: Re: My Best Buck Ever
Post by: Michael Arnette on December 10, 2014, 10:27:00 AM
Outstanding! Still gives me the chills looking at him...did you ever get him mounted? How about score, I'm just curious
Title: Re: My Best Buck Ever
Post by: Tsalt on December 10, 2014, 10:24:00 PM
Thanks Michael!  I never got him scored but I did get him mounted.  He's in my office so I enjoy him daily!

I recently covered my wall in some old barn sheet metal.  He looks even better in it...
