Unbelievable! Very nice indeed. And, I've noticed you do it year in and year out so my hats off to you sir. You obviously have a sweet spot there and as long as your letting the small bucks walk you'll continue to guarantee future good bucks in that spot and in that area in general. Your doing it right!

I finished the European mount, Thought some might want to see how it came out. I tried a European mount on the deer in my avatar but I had messed it up.This one came out great.

You did a good with it Zac. When I was in Texas a couple weeks ago one of the guy's down there brought in one he had just gotten the week before and did the same thing. He did everything you did but also used a power washer. Said it blasts a lot of the flesh clean off after boiling
