Great video - so cool to watch you work your way onto and off that mountain.   One hell of a hike!

Nice addition with the video. Hiking solo through blowdown timber after dark is no joke.👍🏼

With 130-140 ibs  sometimes i question my sanity in the moment.  By the next day I'm ready to do it again.

Here are some pictures of the completed mount done by Fidalgo taxidermy.  Garth did a really nice job capturing the old buck character.  Had to use a mule deer body and custom mold the head as there was no mount that existed with those head dimensions    Got to go with 3 nails to pick both of ours up together as they were finished at the same time.  It was a picture we had been wanting to get with both those bucks side by side

could someone rotate that first picture for me? thanks!

WOW incredible Buck! Love Fidalgo's work, have several mounts from them.

As I said in 3 Nails post - I can't get over the size of the heads on those things.  Simply massive!  I saw eleven BT today down in Mason Co. - they all look like Chihauhuas compared to your buck.
