This Rack Hasn't Seen Daylight in 40 Years!
« on: October 31, 2010, 09:45:51 AM »
This old 9X10 mule deer rack was found in an attic after some roof repair, been hibernating for about 40 years that we can determine. It has a metal USF Game Permit tag number 13456, any way of finding the history with that info assuming it's a Wa. St. buck? When did they do away with metal tags?  Would like to find an appropriate mount for it. Thanks, Lon

Thought this was about a different topic.  Was almost afraid to open and read.   :yike: :bdid: :chuckle:

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
