Most taxis I know can provide a cape at a cost if you still want a shoulder mount. That's what I had to do with my blacktail.

Nice buck, and thanks for the story.

Very nice buck!

Thanks every body! I'm glad I took him. Going to be more picky next year in September and try and get a big ole boy. i am going to end up just doing a European mount on him and make sure I take a measuring tape next time so I know if the buck is bigger or not  Pete112288 I was in the 792nd chemical company and just transfered to the 420th chemical battalion. Been in that unit for 12 years now.

That is a stud buck to say the least! I will have to show the pic to SFC Duff, haha. Ive been 790th for 6 years now.

Stud buck for sure, great job!

I am wondering about something. If the deer was at 225 yard, why did you tell your buddy to hold 1" over his back when he was zeroed at 75 yards (almost same zero as 100 yards)? What was he shooting, a .22 lr? Help me understand this? Great buck by the way.

I had a little buck fever going on myself from the excitement. It was a really steep incline shot and a guesstimated 225 because my brother forgot to bring the range finder. Figured at the time that would be the best place to aim.

I'd be holding on hair at 225...

Great buck! Congrats man!

Really steep incline/decline means aim for less yardage than line of sight. 45° calls for right about 71% of the line of sight. So 225x.71=160 yards.

A little saying that's real easy to remember and very useful to keep oneself in check. "If you aren't aiming at hair, your wrong, don't shoot".

I will definitely keep this in mind next time thank you! like I said earlier it was definitely a buck fever mistake from all the excitement. I honestly was more excited about getting him this buck then the buck I shot. Its crazy how exciting it is helping friends or family get there deer or at least getting them a chance at a buck
