Big Four
« on: February 10, 2008, 12:57:14 PM »
I mentioned this rack in another thread about it may need to be stained to get its natural color back. I picked it up from my dad's and it isn't quite as bad as I thought. Just thought you guys might wanna see some pics.

My fiance.............



Some character...

I like the color in the second photo, I personally wouldn't stain it, but its all about personal preference.

I just hadn't looked at it in a while, and I think I may have been thinking of the other set of horns that is not intact that is very discolored. I think these may just be really dirty from sitting out in the shop.

that boy has got some cool character for sure,
i'd leave him alone the way he is.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Yea I would leave the horns that color. Maybe your fiance might think about taking the lemon out of her mouth. :chuckle:

Thanks guys. I have no stats on this buck at all. I don't even know if he came from WA or not. When my dad bought the place he is at now, this rack and one other smaller muley were left in the shop. I'm not a very good judge, but what do you guys think he may score?
