RE: Autumn Assassins
MN, this year's buck will be my 4th whitetail mount. I think I am addicted
The taxidermist I use also did the Beatty buck as well as mounts for Jeff Foxworthy, Stan Potts, et al and he is $460 total. The work quality is just unbeatable. I have tried other, cheaper taxidermists, and I wish I had not. Since the thing will be around hopefully for a long, long time it is worth a little extra to really enjoy it.

Saturday should be great. My shotgun is dialed in and I am taking a new friend of mine from school here deer hunting for his first time. I'm hoping for a doe to give him a shot. That is the one thing I am really looking forward to. It's really a priviledge to be able to do that.

RE: Autumn Assassins
Well I think all of your mounts are great looking. Had I found something in that $3-$350 range that looked as good as all yours I maybe would have pulled the trigger.
You can sure tell a texas deer compared to a northern buck. John yours looks like a Whitetails coat around here would look if you got him very early. You get anything much past the first of October and they will have a shaggier more bristled appearance I think. Yours is so sleek and softer toned.
