If you live and breath deer, after awhile theyll rub off on ya for sure. I keep about 30 of them to keep me close. Thanks for the nice words guys. That buck you mentioned actually has 6 drop tines, all between 4 to 8 inches. Its a heck of a buck, regardless of the mount.
Bill, I think you are being a bit modest. Yes the buck itself was awesome. But that mount, is definitely an eye catcher. The realism you captured is what makes it great. Taxidermy is something I have always wanted to do. Hopefully some day I will get to do it. Their is a school not all that far from here. I hear it is a pretty good place to learn. Maybe when the kids are older. Take care, and keep up the good work.
