Got a happy text today from my taxidermist to come pick up my buck from last year. 

The last hours of work drug on forever...

Headed out at 5 in the monsoon, thankfully he lives pretty close. 

He led me to his workshop and said I have to pick him out of the line up.  Saw mine immediately and got a cool goosebumps feeling.  Taxidermist did just an outstanding job,  and even without the rack I would of picked his long snout out of that lineup. 

I've never been much of a trophy hunter,  and he's no giant,  but thankful to have this one and such a great job done on the mount.  

I'll get some better pics once I get him up on the wall.  Gonna try to score him before going up.  Not sure what the heck I'm doing but I'll figure it out 😆

Looks Great @JestersHK! That's going to look great on the wall. If you could send me a true straight on photo, I could send you a guess on the score via text.

           Nice buck and beautiful mount.  It's nice to have critters on the walls to keep memories going. Looking forward to getting mine back someday.

Ketchup,  my Taxi said he'd go 140 or just below so you're spot on. 

I did a quick score sheet last night with a soft tape and came up at 141.5 after 10.5 in subtraction, but just a noob following guides and you tubers.

John I texted ya some pics.

Nice one.  136”

Before seeing the inside spread I was thinking 135 to 138". Might just go over 140 with that spread.
