Very nice deer & mount - who wouldn't be thrilled?

I too would say 3.5 years based on then beam length and base diameter - at least for my area that would be typical. But........who cares really - you never look at that mount with a moments regret. I've got my 1st at the Taxidermist's - (25 yrs in the making) -

Great post - and thanks for sharing your good fortune,
