Title: Mule deer mount is home
Post by: Dmaxshawn on January 28, 2011, 11:15:00 PM
Today my friend called and said he needed to come by the house and catch up.  I saw him pull up and I could not help but smile.  In the front seat of his truck I could see some antlers.  It was then I knew why and I quickly got goose bumps as that day unfolded in my head.   Only 9 more months till I get to do it all again.


2010 Nebraska 5 x 5 with a longbow made in my garage.  Yes thats a thing with wheels and it was my first bow a Bear Whitetail II it just hangs around there.


Enjoy Shawn

Bro . It doesn't get much better than that one. I think from that smile you agree.
I'm thinking from those d and r forms back there that you killed that monster with a bow you built. Might as well show that bad boy off too. That makes it even better yet.


God Bless you, Steve

Shawn....  WOW what a deer.  I would love to get a shot at a mulie that good.

I had to go back and edit in here..  Eye guards and all... How wide is he?

Edit again: He kept his forks..  

Just as a favor..  could ya take and post another pic or two without all the stuff in the background.  He kinda get lost in all of it. I would really like to see that rack.

Thanks

I've seen a few out there I would shoulder mount and they had tines, points, and trash going in all directions.  Maybe I'll get really lucky one day.
