Bowhuntercop, Did not mean to hijack your post. Just had been meaning to post mine and I saw your thread. Would like to see other's mounts as well.

Can you tell how much difference in my 2 mounts? The hair on that October 3rd buck is sooooo thin. Poor taxidermist struggled. It was 76 degrees when I shot him. He is from NE Illinois. The mzl buck is from west central IL. That one is scarred up bigtime. Lots of fighting damage to cape, but not rack. 30 minutes prior to taking that one I had a buck walk past with 5 of his former 10 tines broken off.

What were the dates of your kills?
