Deer Mount is back!

Thanks guys. I have the mount at home right now but going to be setting it up at the cottage.

What did it score? Where did you harvest the deer?

My first full mount was an old warrior with rips out of his ears and a big scar on his nose. I loved that the taxidermist left all of that without trying to repair or hide it. Looks like your guy has some character in his left ear too. And it is also interesting how long the hair around his bases is. Like most hunters I love just seeing deer, both mounted and on the hoof. Ultimately, I think it is proof that we appreciate much more than just harvesting them. Congrats on a nice buck and mount.

i love the full mounts the problem is theyre expensive. my grandfather had a huge buck mounted at his house he passed a long long time ago and his son ended up selling it to someone, had i known it would be in my room right now i loved the thing. my father shot his biggest buck last year and actually texas mounted it himself if you want a picture i have 1 or 2. he actually saved the bullet fragments and mounted it with it as well. thought it was cool.

OP great deer and great mount looks awesome brought me back to that old mount i was just talking about. congrats!

Thanks guys. I didn't have it scored yet and don't know if I will but if i had to guess I would say in and around the 130's. He was taken on private property close to Uxbridge.
