That is the first I have seen that picture so I don’t have any specific information about the bucks in the back of the truck at that time. But, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to find out that they were all from unit 2G. When I was at that shop a few weeks ago he already had close to four hundred bucks in more still trickling in every day.
That taxidermist told me that the best buck he had in his shop from 2008 came out of unit 2G though the rack wasn’t there at the time, as many hunters take the antlers with them to show to friend or have them scored until the taxidermist calls and needs them back to mount on the head.
I took a few pictures while I was there of the rows of racks hanging in the shop. There two rooms filled with racks hanging from the ceiling so I took a picture of each room. This taxidermist gets most of his work from units 2G, 2F, 2D and 2E though there will be a few from other parts of the state as well.
And now the pictures:

Sometime later this year I will have the number of bucks, the average points and spread of the bucks plus the ages from most of the bucks in his shop.

Those are some good racks. I have two buddies that operate
taxidermy shops. Plain and simple.Starting the third year of AR's, their business has picked up for big buck mounts.
