Title: 2008 Whitetail mount
Post by: KevinO. on January 13, 2010, 04:06:05 pm
Finally got my 2008 buck back from the Taxidermist.  I wasn't happy about the wait but once I got it back it was well worth it.

Just thought I would share it.  I didn't kill a buck this year but passed on several that will be shooters next year.

Turned out really nice Kevin, did yall score it?  Sometimes the excitement of what one will be is better than shooting a biggun...

Haven't scored him yet.  He probably won't net more than 150 because of a rather large deduct.  He had a third main beam coming out of his forehead.  Here he is next to a buck I found dead while hog hunting on our place in 2007.  It gross scored 172 and he ain't that big! LOL!

I'll take him to the backwoods show here in Oklahoma in April.  I'll let you know what he "officially scored"

That side view shows him really well, that unicorn point is pretty cool
