Title: Odd Little 5x7 but I'll Take it - Added European Pic 11-2-15 to Original Post
Post by: flysar on October 08, 2015, 05:21:33 AM: After a 2 yr drought and 100's of miles, WA Muzzleloader and OR Bow, I filled my tag with this small 5x7 (8 if you count a 2" kicker). Steaks on the table, canned meat, summer sausage, and jerky; tenderloins tonight!

The non-typical side has several rounded tines and appears to have a couple strands of velvet (leathery strips) hanging off of 2 of the tines. The typical side is a small 5.

Good luck to those who still have tags to fill.

Post by: Eli346 on October 08, 2015, 07:15:51 AM: I love the color and the character of that bull. I haven't mounted a bull yet and I've got a bunch of branched anlters in my garage but I would definitely put that one on the wall.

Post by: Wetwoodshunter on October 08, 2015, 07:24:34 AM: No doubt in my mind that should go on the wall
Title: Re: Odd Little 5x7 but I'll Take it
Post by: GoldTip on October 08, 2015, 07:28:42 AM: Really, really like atypical antlers, without doubt that bull would get a shoulder mount for my wall.

Definitely happy with him... all harvests are a bonus! Didn't cape him but plan on doing a European mount and he'll hang in my shop.

Post by: widgeonwacher on November 06, 2015, 07:18:38 AM: I dont want to sound dumb or nothing but would that be a legal spike because of that inside point?
