Default Home at last - my 2006 mount

After 16 months my 2006 buck is finally home where he belongs. My taxidermist is gettin' older and doesn't work quite so fast anymore and gets absolutely pounded with deer mounts every year so he takes longer than must but IMO its worth the wait. He does a great job and I've never seen a mount come out of his shop yet that I haven't been impressed with.

I liked Buckeye's 2006 mount so much I got the same thing. Trouble is, his buck is a lot bigger than mine.

Anways, here's some pics from field to wall.

That's one very nice looking mount, Justin...well worth the wait. Just got done watching you on The Grind. I'd highly recommend it to others.

Nice mount. His antlers are real dark, especially around the bases and brow tines. He looks kind of mad. Cool.
