Picked up my Deer mount today
« on: June 18, 2015, 06:54:44 PM »
I picked up my deer mount today. Some of you may recall that I was fortunate enough to have picked up my antlers about a week before a fire at Alden's Taxidermy.
The pictures don't do it justice, but I couldn't stand to wait until I could get better pictures to share it. I need to get it against a dark background with different lighting. Anyway here it is

I'd put him on the wall without a second thought. Did you already post up a story behind this hunt?

The cats are pretty freaked out about it. They went and hid under the bed when I brought it in. Even today they keep an eye on it when they walk by
