Good story Hammer, and an excellent buck.
If you decide not to have him mounted, consider a home-done European mount. They aren't very difficultto do and are (in my view) pretty attractive.Actually, I prefer them - and they don't take up a lot of space.I did this one myself. The mounting board was cutfrom an old Oak cabinet door.

Congratulations.
And since some people have been putting down Shock Waves tell us what you think of the job they do. Lee

I can honestly say that the Shock Wave is an outstanding bullet. The exit hole in the doe at approx. 100 yds was between a quarter and half-dollar. She flopped around for a minute or so but didn't make it 15 yds. The buck was a bang-flop. These bullets are so very accurate it is hard to imagine shooting anything else. Simply having the confidence that the bullet is going to end up where I am aiming is awfully powerful. I hope to knock down a few more in the weeks to come so I will keep you posted.

Can you give a brother a few tips on this type mount. Given the current state of the economy,a cheapier route is most likelythe one to be pursued. Thanks in advance!
