He is a beauty!!! Congratulations! Not only is he nice but he is so symetrical too..

I enjoyed your story too, good job!

As far as getting him mounted, it is such a special moment in your hunting life and those big boys just don't walk by everyday, I would find a way to do it if at all possible.

Price is the last thing I look for in a taxidermist. One must check out their work first. Usually the good ones charge a little bit more and take a little longer to get it done. Because of the quality of their work, they have many to do. Being that you are going to look at it for the rest of your life, what is a few dollars more.

It is always hard to find the extra cash to get it done, I can certainly understand that. Most good taxis. will let you put down a deposit. Then you could send him a litte each month.

Do whatever "trips your trigger"...

Again congrats on an awesome deer....
