looks like you guys had fun.
But tell me you didn't slit that deers throat. The spiker on the right. I got some good bucks in my home shop this yr.... split from ear to ear. I was horrified. One was a big 6x7 that was shot in rifle season by a little girl, she was 15 yrs old and her folks wanted to have it mounted for her. I told them good luck. The gutted it and went right up to the chin to take the windpipe out. I educated them a bit. When you double lung a deer with ANY weapon you don't have to slit the throat. AND the wind pipe only has to be taken out when the weather is warm, to prevent bacteria. On a trophy you never touch the cape. They can buy a cape but if they don't want to then they have to be happy with a euro mount.
Sorry for the rant. Hope I didn't hijack your thread[X(]
