Very cool buck.
Well shucks. I had visions of a skull with that tine coming through the eye socket, but the tine will come off with the skin. Such is reality.

I my self would take it to a taxodermest and see what they could do with it. I have seen them mount a 10 year old rack for a guy with a new cape from a doe.
