I almost passed on this one, my wife was with me and she wasn't sure she could make the shot. He started getting spooky so I finally decided to take him.

Looks like you have some good venison there.
Those antlers are great looking stuff for gun and knife scales or a solid handle or a few.

lovely even head...that extra bit jutting out at base is a talking point. enjoy your venison and ignore the heathen above...knife handles...shucks.... a nice euro mount would be much better.

This deer is going on the wall. He is currently with the taxidermist. The reason I almost passed on him, I knew he wasn't very wide. The reason I took him, I could tell he had good mass. As for the abnormal "point" above his right eye, I originally thought it was dried velvet still attached to his antler.
I'm happy with him, especially since I don't consider myself a "trophy" hunter, but more of a fill-the-freezer guy.

That's a fine trophy.
Me to a T matey - don't have the teeth to chew on antlers any more but I'm happy with venison & the head is a reminder of where it came from (summink supermarket beef buyers are all too happy to ignore). |

Finally got the call from the taxidermist last week.
I'm very pleased with the result. The hardest part is figuring out his final home...
