more pics, and thats me with his buck, well i never ended up getting my buck but i was that close, last day of modern we were out in the morning looking for my boy well we spotted him he was a big boy 5x5 maybe bigger he was huge BUT he was on private property tried to call him out but just wouldnt leave that doe, so we moved on , i ended up losing my hitch off my rig so we went out to look for it in the mean time while driving a 2 pointer jumped in front of me i got out to see where he went and maybe get a shot but i couldnt find him he was gone so we called it a day packed up and went home

I charge $450 for a shouler mount.  Were you guys able to get the buck caped out this morning?  Not sure which one of you guys I talked to this morning.

I am not sure what bucklucky charges.  I think I know but it's not my place to quote another taxidermists price.
