Default Got my buck back

Just thought I let you guy know that the taxidermist called today and told me my buck was ready that I got on Nov 1.
I decided to get something a bit different than the classic mount and went with the 'sneak' form. This buck was a real old timer. His face around the nose is all gray and under his chin he has whiskers about 7" long. Never saw them that long before.

Nice Bronko. Any idea what that big old boy weighed?

Thanks Dave
Van - I never got him weighed but it took me and my son to get him out. I shot a few deer that dress out at around 150 so I estimated this boy was 200+.
Flint - Inside spread 17 1/4".

Dang Nice!

Now, you need to the Star Trek thing - put em in the replicator - replicate him and tell me where you put him when he is replicated and walken around in the woods again...

That is a fine buck for sure. Great work on the taxidermist's part for making sure the long whiskers were kept on the mount.
