I posted in the deer hunting forum a few days ago, but forgot the most important forum.....where he came from.....THE SOUTH!!
I've been watching this guy for over three years and have had a bead on him more than once, but never wanted to just throw a pop shot at him. About a month ago I had him 15 yds away with the Muzzleloader and the powder didn't fire cause it had been raining all day.He just flinched when the cap went off. I finally caught up to him last night. I snuck in on him while he was in the heavy stuff and waited him out for over an hour and a half while he pushed over small trees while making rubs right in front of me. Enough to give you heart failure. I had no clear shot until a group of does he was chasing ran up over the hill I was on and I finally got a clear shot after almost pulling the trigger 3 times. He was moving in and out of the heavy stuff and every time I thought I was gonna shoot, he'd step in front of something else. He finally steped out long enough for me to get a shot and here he is!!

150 pound 8 point with 17 1/2 inch spread....taken from a florida wildlife management area.
i'm sorry the pictures aren't inside this post....but i haven't figured out how to do this. when i reduce the file size, it makes the picture so small you that you can hardly see it.

Awesome buck for florida bigboar23!!!I love the palmation on his left beam.So I guess I only have one question...Will the mount be looking left or right?
big boar, you live near me...which taxidermist did you take hime to? i use R. J. Dolphi in Mt. Plymouth. he is a family friend and has always treated us right. he also started processing wild game too, if you would be interested.

i also forgot to mention, R. J. Dolphi on average get's your mount done in 6-8 weeks. he is reasonably priced at around $300.00. there is other taxadermist in the area that exceed $500.00 and take up to a year.

I appreciaite the info, but I use a guy here in Orlando for a few years now and he has done all my mounts from Deer to Gators to Boar. I do appreciate the info though. My processor is pretty hard to beat as well. I got real lucky, so believe me I know why you're offering the info. Good people are hard to find in this industry sometimes.
