I have a weird question here. about 7 years ago I shot my first big buck. It was a nice 8 pointer with a small kicker less than 1 in. It had a 15 in spread with 5-6 in tines. Well that opening day between my friends an I we shot 6 bucks. We took them to the processor the next day for sausage and to be caped out for mounts.

Well here is the part that still pisses me off. We went to get our deer and the guy said that mine was lost..... LOST he said. I was LIVID. Well lets just say we loaded up our deer meet and I told him when he finds my cape with the rack I will pay him for the 6 deer. He was like hell no you pay me now.. well I jsut go into the truck and told him to screw himself.

So all this time I can still picture him in my mind on the wall. Well the other day a guy I know who rents property out had a situation where his tennant died. The relatives did not want the deer mount that was left. He asked me if I wanted it and I was like well I did not shoot it. So I went and looked at it. It was a nice mount of an 8 pointer. I took it home and put it on the wall.

So here is the question. Would you feel comfortable with hanging a deer "which you did not shoot" on the wall to replace the one that was lost??? Im not going to tell people who ask about it that I shot it. I just want to replace what was taken from me...... or never received....
