Mount sons first deer ?
Have any of you ever done this ? I did ! 26 years ago ! Its still in nice shape. It was one of the littlest deer i ever seen but was shot in 4 foot of snow,back in the woods over a mile!
IMHO,this little mount will forever out do a photograph !

I DID NOT MOUNT THE FiRST DEER I EVER KILLED . IT WAS ALSO ONE OF THE SMALLEST BUCKS I've ever seen but at same time , most memorable.(you never forget your first)
since that day I have mounted several " first deer" for a variety of people most were very small but you always get a big grin when the mount is given to them.
on back of the skull plate, I always write a note to them(where buck was killed, year, with who , with what weapon ,and who was companions, in hunt.) so if they ever take the skull plate off the plaque, in the future another surprise is waiting. only a few have ever got back to me on this , last one was thirty years after the mount was made, when owner discovered the note.
