Title: Bucks before and after taxidermy.
Post by: lover_of_all_racks on September 26, 2013, 11:46:13 AM: Probably posted up somewhere but the countdown is 16 days and i cant help but look at my hunting pics. So i thought id share some pics of the bucks dead in the field, then mounted on the wall.

Post by: boneaddict on September 27, 2013, 05:53:22 AM: Actually a cool idea for a thread! Can we use yours and you be the originator of it, or would you like to keep this one about your critters? Nice bucks!

I'd like to do a thread, just like you titles Before and after....field photo, on the wall photo. Again, cool idea.

Yes. From the Blues. They're real dark but I think the picture of the euro makes them look darker than they really are.

Thanks. I can't take any credit for the picture. My buddy took it and he takes some awesome photos. I drew the 1 Tucannon late modern mule deer tag Thanksgiving week 2010.
