Happens to all, well...
A freind of mine shot a nice buck .
Same hing happened to him ,
Another friend of ours did the mount .
Not exactly pos. on the price , I think it was around $300 . also 10 years ago.
Anyways our friend ?? mixed up the hides .
He got it back with a totaly diiferent hide witch was shot earlier in the season and had a normal size neck on it compared to his full swollen neck .
I,d be pritty pissed as he was .
Well after grummping and all it still hangs in his house the way its mounted .
He was thinking the same thing , I f every a day he or a friend shot a big deer that wasnt going to be mounted to have it redone ..
