MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

Bow and Arrow Southern Indiana November 8, 2003 7:00 am 11 yards, buck was cruising down a travel corridor filled with rubs
174 Total Hours on Stand over the course of 42 hunts

Here he is




He had broken his right g-2, 1 inch off the base, i chose to keep him the way he was, rather than have him "repaired"



Here is my trophy room



Here is me with my two bucks, the other was a 7-pointer taken in 2000 with my shotgun



Here is my 7-pointer



Here is my hunting buddy- My little girl, Peyton

Very Very nice mounts and a mighty fine dog.

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

Thanks alot, I am very proud of them

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

congratulations on two very nice bucks

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

Thats cool you got the scraper mounted with his fight look! ;) Good hunting bud and congrats!

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

Really nice mounts, PL. They look great! (I would have done the same thing with your more recent mount... glad to see you kept him "as is"!)

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

nice mounts the eight has a lot of white in him by the looks. have many piebalds in your area .

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

bob d, it does look like the 8-pointer has alot of white in him in that first picture, but actually in person you don't see any of that false shine, i had my computer light pointed at him when i took the picture that is why it looks kind of shiny in the first pic, if you look at him in the pictures where i am holding him, you don't see that white looking shine. to answer your question, i have never seen a piebald in the wild, but i have seen 3 albinos, one in a state park and 2 white fawns with a doe while driving down the interstate a half hour from where i hunt

What did the 8 point's rack measure, PL?

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

Those are some beautiful mounts and some great pics. I surely would be proud....especially of that cute "pup".:)

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

Congrats , looks to have a wide inside spread .

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

His spread is 18 inches, does anyone have any rough guesses at what he might have scored, his bases were 4.5 right side and 5 inches on the left side. I roughly scored him around 100", he might have been closer to 110" if he had not broken his tine. I really don't know if I am scoring him correctly, I downloaded some of those sheets from Boone and Crocket, but this guy would be Pope and Young, since he was harvested with a bow. I am assuming the scoring procedures are about the same. Score really isn't a big deal to me, he'll always be a trophy in my eyes.

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

Nice mounts!!! Those are nice bucks anywhere!!!!

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

Nice bucks there! Ironically, I shot my buck on 11-8-04 at 6:55am....in PA! I don't know what to tell yo aboutt he score though....maybe 120"?:D

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!

GREAT DEER MAN, WHAT COUNTY IN SOUTHERN INDIANA DID YOU HARVEST HIM IN?

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

I took both of these deer from the same farm near Patoka

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

COOL MAN, I FISH IN HARRISON COUNTY IN SEVEN SPRINGS LAKE.

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

KY Bowman, Harrison County is about an hour from where I hunt, that is some awesome country, a lot of rolling hills.

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

It really was, I even had a lite snow falling!:D

RE: MY 2003 8-POINTER MOUNT PICS!!!!!!!!!
 

I'm with you, PL. I have to agree that trophies are best measured by the person who took them. There's a lot more to determining a buck's measurements than a tape measure can ever tell. I was just curious what the tape said. ;) Nice deer, buddy!
