What an incredible deer, congrats to the boy

Wow.....was this the buck that grew up in a fairy tail amusementpark?

Is this the infamous "walking world record"?

yep, that's him....only he ain't walking so good now

all his hunting days from here on out will be boring

Um well that is a ok buck at best. I think that he should have been allowed to grow up first. I surpised that he doesnt still have spots. lol

No really Wow I would love to shoot something with half that mass and points

that is one NICE buck ,but i do have one question ,maybe a taxidermist can answer this, how if it was only shot like a month or two ago is it done so fast??i thought it took a long time to cure the hide??

Hey for the kid its just liking winning the lottery! He got lucky and was in the right spot at the right time. I bet some of you play the lottery who say here goes another profit by a hunter. Hunting is the same way!!!!

The mount thoretically could have been done is just a couple of days after the kill. The skull could have been cleaned and dry in a very short time. Beetles and borax do wonderfull things.

Hides can be tanned in less than a week. Perhaps the taxidermist used a cape he had on hand. It happens all the time. My brother sold several Illinois capes to a guy in PA who used them when a guy brought in a buck that was shot up or had it's throat or jaw cut.

Putting the mount together takes just a day or two after everything is on hand and ready.
