The taxidermist I used in the past has retired and I tried somebody new this year. I was impressed with his work, price, and the time it took to get the deer back. This guy is not full time so he takes a limited number of deer so he can spend time on each one and not have them for years. I actually got it back about July, he had it for six months. The deer was a 10 point. The second buck is an 11 pointer I killed back in 1995 when I was a teenager. It was my first buck and when I look at it now it makes me wander what potential it had. It was only 2 1/2 years old. Good spread but the tines werent real tall. Had this guy had time to get older he could have been huge. The farm I was hunting at the time was not real big so he would have never lasted had I not taken him. (not that I thought about passing him up as my first buck.)
The mount I had done in 95 has held up very well, I was disppointed when the lady that did it retired.

nice buck, congrats!!!!

Thats a great 10 point, nice mount.

Nice mounts, congrats on a couple of awesome bucks.

Oh man he did a killer job! I got mine back and like the mount, but wasn't overly impressed. But yours is very nice looking!

Nice looking mount. Congrats on a great deer.

Anyone who shoots an 11 point as their first buck is doing pretty well. I'm in my 30th season hunting and haven't broken 8 points yet.

great buck and that mount looks great!
