Title: Another NE Whitetail
Post by: daydreamn on April 25, 2011, 08:25:02 PM: In September '2000 all at once I had 12 forked horn bucks come under my stand while archery hunting. One particular buck caught my eye because he had a small white patch on either side of his neck. In '2005 I took my Father in law and his brother into the same area to hunt whitetail for their first time. His brother [Garrold] got excited and wanted to shoot the first buck we saw; a forked horn. I told him to hold off. Less then a minute later this buck went up the ridge beside us and Garrold put him down. Its neat to see what that forked horn yearling turned into five years later. I mounted the buck for him and also gave him a shed I had picked up from the same buck. Wish they all had capes this nice.

Post by: dscubame on April 26, 2011, 07:11:30 PM: If I mounted an animal for someone it would be that I paid to have it done for that person. I am most definately no artist and I most admire the craft. That is one beautiful animal.

Post by: daydreamn on April 26, 2011, 09:10:30 PM: Yes, my taxidermy work. I don't do it commercially, for the most part just for family. Its mostly just a very time consuming hobby. This buck was actually the third mount I'd ever done.
