RE: the post weve all been waiting for
Way to go there buddy!
I remember when you were asking questions...just starting out bowhunting. You've done well Pilgrim!
Now...yes, get him mounted. If you ask your taxidermist real nice, he can fix that rub on the briskit. He will simply cut a football shaped hole where the hair is missing, and sew the skin together. Most times you will never be able to tell. There is plenty of skin. No big deal, it's common.
You guys are really documenting your kills this year. Makes some nice reading. The bar is constantly being raised.
Congrats on a memorable hunt.
