My Muley Mount Is Done! Looks Great!
« on: October 22, 2013, 04:50:01 PM »
I showed the field photo of my Buck Of A lifetime last Dec. Well, the mount is done & thought I'd show off the finish product! (grin)  It was a DIY public land hunt in Idaho! Thanks for looking guys & gals!

That buck is soooo ridiculously big. What did it end up scoring, Paul?
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Wow! Lots of comments guys, thanks a ton for the congrats & kind words! Yes, he is a brute & I was so fortunate to happen upon him, I had passed on a few other bucks before I tripped over this guy but nothing in the caliber he is! (grin) He officially grossed 205" & netted 192" - He will make B&C "All Time" but I doubt I'll enter him, never was much into that.

  Yes, a day does not go by since I've gotten him back that I don't stare at him & shake my head in awe of how fortunate I was, best of all my Son was there with me as it all went down. He took this photo of me on the packout! It was a special day I'll not soon forget. I hope all here can experience this someday in their life!

Missed the first thread on this one. Sweet Jesus that buck has everything I would ever want in a trophy. That is more than a buck of a life time. That is a buck of hundreds of life times. There are millions of hunters in the field that will never lay eyes on a buck of that caliber.  :yike:

I can completely relate.  My buck isn't that big, and I didn't pass any up before shooting him, but I have a very similar story to yours from my buck this year.
