Awesome pictures!

Thanks again guys. These may be the best trail cam pictures I have ever gotten. I have some good ones. I have some cool pics, pics of big bucks, and some weird ones. Never would have imagined I would find these of the buck I killed 2.5 months ago. Maybe a night picture or a blurry one or one with him in the background. Not these! I am pumped.

And the 2013 14pt buck mount is home and on the wall!

I am sure some of you can relate to this: Pull out drill, screw anchors, tape measure, etc. Start pulling the 2010 mount off the wall and rearranging things. My wife says "Oh sure. Bring your buck home tonight and he is on the wall tonight. I bring something home I want you to hang and it is waiting to be hung for months and months." What can I say? Guy has got to have his priorities. lmao

Front view looking at him from the middle of the living room.



View as you walk in the front door.



Thank you to Mike at Whitetail Specialties! His lighting was better so I will post pics from his shop as well. I think he did a great job. I would highly recommend him!

Good looking buck Phil! Why did you take the other buck down? Don't you know you are supposed to just line this one up to the other one....and keep going down the wall ??

Not taken down. Just moved to another "room". Erin's rule: No more than one dead buck in living room at a time. Ok. Move to dining room 2010 buck. Hang 2013 buck in living room. Loophole found. lol

Your wife would poop her pants if.she walked into my living room. Haha


Looks good though Phil.

Depends on the house Zach. Some houses can handle it. Ours doesn't really have a room where it would work. Wish we had a large front room with high ceilings to display them all together without looking tacky. We don't.

I don't know Chad. No desire to move unless the perfect setup came available. I like the idea of paying off my house more than the idea of getting a bigger house payment. lol

Maybe you are right. Once the house is paid off, maybe it will be time to add a man cave.

What a pleasant surprise I found tonight. Been looking for a picture from two years ago because I wanted to compare it to one I got on my last camera pull. I found this in my photobucket album and I'll be darned if it isn't the buck I killed in 2013. Made my evening!
