HA! Btomlin is making reference to the fact that my wife was out of town with work for a couple of days when I killed this deer. After the taxidermist caped it and cut the skull-cap off and cleaned it, I wrapped the cap in plastic and laid the rack on our bed in my wifes spot and when she got back I told her shewould need to sleep on the couch. I moved the rack from room to room with me for the first couple of days! I guess you could say I have been a little obsessed with this deer. Kind of sad its over but extremely lucky it turned out the way it did.
Ofcourse she never did sleep on the couch. I probably would still be on the couch if I had tried that!

Wow, what a brute! Congratulations, job well done. Nothing is more satisfying than hunting a specific buck and getting it done. Thanks for the pic and the story.
