Dang what a stud! What's the story on the buck? Looks like it was an early season kill

Can't wait to see it. Is your dad still around? I'm sure he'd be tickled that you've done this.

Dad shot him in 1956 in Central Idaho during regular season

Unfortunately he isnt. He would be very happy for sure. He killed a lot of giant bucks but this was his biggest

Here is a pic after the hide is on. He still needs to do some tune ups and touch ups

Thats my last years archery Antelope in the back ground he is doing at the same time. He is actually doing my dads buck, my first solid buck ( another remount ) and last years Antelope. It will be fun picking up all 3 in a couple of weeks

It is. His first volume of idaho's greatest mule deer. Absolutely insane how much work went into those books.

Family heirlooms like that don't get much better IMO. I know you've posted that buck on here before. I seem to remember you saying central Idaho and maybe even more specific like north of Ketchum or east of Stanley stands out in my mind. Hope theirs still some more like that out there!

You know Doublelunger, thats exactly what it is.

I have posted it before. He killed it up the Big Wood river. A drainage called the East Fork of the North Fork. Still great buck country. We all dream of getting on a buck like this but they are few and far between on public now days but guys still turn them up

Nice buck!

I think he did. He chose a good cape and it turned out really good. One of the best things about Jacob is he genuinely cares about the quality of his work and wants your input into every detail
