My Dad's 04 Mount
 

I just thought I would share with everyone the finished mount of my Dad's 04 PA buck. You may remember me posting a picutre and story when he first shot it this year.

This buck was also the grand prize winner in the PA Outdoor News magazine contest this year.

Here is the picture from the woods.


and here are a few of the mount. I think the taxidermist did a great job. The pictures really don't do him any justice. The upclose detail is awesome.

That's a nice PA buck. Unusual rack too. I like the way the one beam sweeps up and the other comes around. I'm not going to use the "c" word because I think it's overused, but definitely a cool rack.

Thanks for all the replies everyone.

HuntingBry, Yes the rack is cool. the one brow tine is busted off and if you look beside the deer's right eye, there is a tine that comes right down along his head. You can see it in the first picture of the mount.

Allseasonhunter7, yes that my Dad, nothing fancy. He just bought the Hoyt 2 season ago. Before that he still hunted with an old Bear bow that was about 20 years old. He still wear face paint and the old style camo. He puts in his time though. He very rarely misses a day of hunting. He shot this on the 23rd of October at 7:15 am. Just got light and he looked up to see him walking thru around 20 yards away. 50 or so yards later he was standing over his 40th deer of his PA hunting career.

Antler Eater, honestly, I don't know. I'll have to ask. He's had that drawing and another (of a buck and doe) on the wall since I was about 5. So they are at least 25 years old. I'll see if I can find out who it was.
