I plan on mounting him. I love the double throat patch. I didnt kill the deer but it sure does lift my spirits after shooting a 160 inch deer last week and not finding it. It will make a good conversation piece for me and my buddies to enjoy.

Was this out on highway 50? His rack looks almost identical to the one that I jumped on my new property down in Wayne county a while back.

Here's one that was taken (by car) about 2 miles from my house:

Too bad he couldn't have been taken by a hunter.

nice buck...i would still mount it my grandpa hit a big 12 pointer a few years back and didnt hesitate to mount it. although a european mount would still be a great nice looking money saving alternative
