When I dropped our deerz off I saw your buck, good job!! Debbie and I were checking out the broken side of the rack. We both think it got shot off. From the look of the wound on the ear I would bet during youth season,

Maybe it's in the public woods. Will you help me locate it?

Nice job on the buck, Mike! Nothing wrong with shooting one with a gun, congrats.

If there were walleyes swimming in that woods you could bet your ass swantucky would be there helping you look for that antler!

I was wondering if you guys got your first buck mounted? I know that they can recreate his other side, but I'm not sure my wife will go for it. Thanks.

I mounted my first buck. Little 6 pointer from Michigan. I am glad I did, both of the guys that were with me when I killed it have been dead for years. When I look at that mount I remember it like was yesterday, I say mount it.

Yea, I say mount it too. As far as the re-create... I think that's a personal opinion call. I personally would not, as that isn't the deer I shot. Plus, I think it creates character and adds a conversation piece.

Nope, not gonna spend the money. I started to euro the head last evening. I'll start to cook the meat off Saturday. Neat little anatomy lesson. I've a really cool idea for the final mount. Thanks for your thoughts.
