We took field pics with a digital camera and a I phone,will that work for posting pics. I did have my deer scored by a friend that does that ( he's an official scorer )and it scored 133 7/8. It's my second biggest buck I've ever taking. Although I thought about mounting it I'm still not sure, several things I don't like shorter G'2s,one beams longer not even,three points have small chips on the ends,but the most concerns are a handsize rubbed out spot on the top of his head that has no hair. I know it sounds like I'm knit picking but I have several deer mounted the are prettier looking in the 17 - 20 in spread range. Plus my wife's a little intimidated walking through the game room( she said it getting a little creepy with all those eyes, full body Turkey's and coyotes,flying geese and ducks). My son and I are into these skull mounts that she hates more so I'll probably do a that and make a floor pedestal wood display. My son and I make unbelievable wooden plaques. Hope it get pics up.

I know a taxidermist that can take an old set of horns having never been mounted and use a cape from a doe.  So, I don't think the bald spot is an issue.  And no one but your taxidermist would know!  

Seriously I don't think a doe cape would look right, this buck has a quite large in rut neck. I caped it out today and froze the head and hide,so I'll have some time to think about it. I may have to pick out a pose with him looking up and to the left. I have  quite a few mounts in just about every pose there is,but taxidermy has come a long way,my guy does assume work and big deer don't every year.

Wags..........  why do you think they call me BTDT.
 
Just make sure which end of the deer is caped, although people do tell me the tail, does make for a cute pony tail.

Ummmmm,  I'm thinkin.........  that's just a little more than, we needed to know!   Butttttttt, 'nibs' on the leopard print!!

Never picked them up. There was a buck carcass 10 feet away. I did NOT want to find out which the odor was coming from....

r3g3 are yooooooooooou, by chance, celebrating the holidays a little early?  
 
Maybe a bit toooooooo much smoke (second hand of course), drink or possibly both?
 
If so........  good for you, enjoy yourself!

Great pictures SWR  and I know that feeling of humility but, consider yourself lucky ya ain't gotta deal with........ u-kno-who.[]
 

 
That is a dandy buck and while we're at it, exactly where were........... these pictures taken?
 
Thanks for showin em and good luck if yer heading out Monday.

I will let this much out of the bag....it's on a 100 piece of property I leased and I am I can hear the shooting on the goose management area at Pymatuning.  Now, if either of you find me, I will put you in a stand..lol!!  Seriously, good luck!

Thank God one was hurt to bad about the car. It's going to be dangerous out there for the next few days.

BIG WAGS
Well ------I get "The Call" 1am this morning, Dad we are all fine BUT been in a crash.
He hit a deer, everyone is okay , the car made it home,3 miles, but has a good bit of damage.
Says it was a one of the biggest bucks he had ever seen. Route 51 Large hill in front of the new "Ultra" body shop.
That makes both my sons and wife have hit deer in the past 2 months....
...I hope to hit mine with 180 grains tomorrow......
 
 
STUPID DEER

 
Glad everyone is ok.  Saw one of the biggest bucks of my life (on the hoof) crossing that side road (forget the name) that cuts through the hill there on Large hill (going up from the bridge on the right almost across from Ultra).  Just happened to look over to the left on my way down the hill on my way home from work and saw him cross that side road.  That steep, thick hillside must be a good haunt for them big boys.....
 

Eyes and Gills.... Hunted that steep slope a few times +35 years ago. We drove it, and yes there are 3 benches they hide on...
MANY big boyz hung out on that hillside and also between 51 and West Elizabeth.
 
 
 
 
 

 
The wrong way to get your buck................

BTDT-----My buddy shot the buck.I am still "in the hunt"
 

Don't give up hope Wags, there's still time, look at me.  Well on second thought, forget that "look at me" part, it might give ya nightmares or sumthin.
 
I just checked out some new turf and I'm all kinds of excited.  I just know, the changes being made with the White-Tailed Deer eradication program, this new place could be polluted with deer in, say, five years.
 
Good luck, don't give up, ya just never know.
