RE: the post weve all been waiting for
Way to go there buddy!
I remember when you were asking questions...just starting out bowhunting. You've done well Pilgrim!
Now...yes, get him mounted. If you ask your taxidermist real nice, he can fix that rub on the briskit. He will simply cut a football shaped hole where the hair is missing, and sew the skin together. Most times you will never be able to tell. There is plenty of skin. No big deal, it's common.
You guys are really documenting your kills this year. Makes some nice reading. The bar is constantly being raised.
Congrats on a memorable hunt.

thanx alot guys...you make me feel like i slammed a monster! to me i might as well have.
livbucks...i dont want that fixed. i mean if i did it dragging out or something, maybe. but he did it. to me, its character. just like a broken point, or the stickers mine has on the bases etc..who knows what its from...but it was there before i killed him and can stay there. my taxidermist is already going to hate me. i got an 1/8th inch of meat from the neck on the cape
we skinned him whole..im used to doing coons or squirrels or rabbits. we both skinned alot of deer, but neither one of us has cared and usually split the hide to make it easier on us...but we did good. i knew it was better to cut meat than poke 1000 holes lol...
i still cant believe it. a buck with my bow.
