DD it looks god to me. I have cinfidence in my Taxiadermist because the have been mounting deer in my area for about 20 years and I have never been informed of a shoty job. The area we live in is very small so the word gets around.
Cool........I'm sure you will be fine.
My buddy who got his 170 class back last year in 30 days has no complaints either. We will see how mine stands the test of time.
You will know more in another 5 years or so.
As far as the buck that was stolen from my Fathers house that is in fact a true story and we have the evidence tags still on the antlers. The insurance company paid my dad 50% of the value approx 3k since the clown that stole them broke the skull plate so he could sell them and yes they did go to BP.
I don't doubt your story is true..........I just don't see how Bass Pro paid $6,000 for a 170 buck. They built a new BP right by my brothers house and they wouldn't pay for anything.......wanted all donations........and like I said they have bucks that size just hanging over the changing rooms as decoration. It's not like a 170 buck is a centerpiece in a place like that. If they paid $6,000 for every decorative buck in the place they would be out $200,000 alone just to cover wall space. If BP really paid that then your dad is VERY fortunate...........yet VERY unfortunate that someone stole it from him.
One thing I don't understand is you say you still have the evidence tags on the deer antlers........how did you collect insurance money on a stolen deer if you got it back??? If someone steals your car and you get it back you don't get money from the insurance company.
