CRAZY Washington Mule Deer Euro
« on: August 02, 2022, 02:15:12 PM »
Don't usually post too many euro pics....but this one is nuts! Glad to get it out of the shop as everyone wants to know where it's from and my lips are sealed. It is a Washington mule deer, mounted up a barn board cut from the owner's family homesteaded house which is no longer being lived in but added some great heritage to this project. Pics are decent but this thing is so much bigger in person. Palmated, mass, and a skull with some of the most calcifications I have seen on a mule deer skull showing the age of this incredible buck. Took extra-long in the degreasing tank to get it fully rid of grease before whitening. Congrats to the owner and thank you for the work.

Did they send a tooth in to get aged?  Or were there any left?

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset
