Title: My biggest buck back from Taxidermist
Post by: Longbowlogan on April 22, 2016, 09:14:00 AM
Well I got the call the other day saying my buck was ready to be picked up! The taxidermist said it was the biggest form in that model he's ever had to order and could only think of one buck that he's done that was bigger body wise. I put this buck on a piece of driftwood I picked up in Georgia while I was on a PBS hog hunt. I shot this buck on November 14th with my Schafer Silvertip recurve at 37 yards with a complete passthrough.

Wow...Beautiful deer and mount!   :thumbsup:  

Is that a wood stove below it?  May want to consider moving it to a different location to avoid the heat drying out/damaging it though.

Thanks, it's a wood pellet stove and it doesn't put off any heat except for the pipe going through the wall and the glass door in the front. The top and sides of the stove are room temp and you can touch with your hand at anytime without it being warm. Thanks for the lookout!

Looks great. Did you ever pay Bill his driftwood transportation fee? He said he's been checking the mailbox everyday.

Awesome buck and terrific mount; I can't wait to see what your 2016 buckeye buck looks like.

If Dunn gets a driftwood transport fee, then I should get a finder's fee.  Remember?  I dropped you off on that GA island to kill a hog but instead you returned with a world class piece of driftwood .....
Title: Re: My biggest buck back from Taxidermist
Post by: Longbowlogan on April 29, 2016, 08:45:00 AM
LOL thanks Jeff!

Your right, without you I wouldn't have this sweet piece of driftwood. Next time we cross path's lunch or dinner is on me! Thank you for all the hard work you put into that hunt in Georgia, I had a great time even with the crappy weather!
