I don't have a picture to share but a buddy had his first deer euro mounted on a black walnut plaque with a high quality pic of it in the field mounted on the plaque underneath the head. Something I have always kept in the back of my head for a special trophy. The plaque and picture both had the same high gloss finish and the pic was set into the plaque so it sat flush.

Looked pretty cool when it was done but I don't think you can display your bull and not have it turn out well.

I re did a skull cap of my dads first bull for him on his last birth and dug up old pics of his camp and from the day he harvested it. I personally really like the way it turned out, I think it's cool to go up to it and see the pictures from those days and I know it means a lot more to my dad being able to look at those memories right there every time! He also really likes it. I'm sure you could make a plaque with a skull hooker deal on it if it's something you're interested in, just an idea!

You could always wrap a cape around it like it deserves!  :yike:
  :chuckle:  It won't fit in my house  :'(
pedestal mount in place of the kitchen table! Problem solved.

Make a wooden pedistal that you could burn a flag into, to make it look rustic. Make sure to have a door with a shelf inside, you could put a picture of you and Aaron in. I can see it in my mind, but the description is probably terrible   :chuckle:

I like what Buckrub did. Something like that with pictures of you and your brother out doing your thing would look nice.

Don't they have some chairs they could throw out? He's always sitting on the floor anyway.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Just like this, take one of your brothers packs, load it up for long pack out and seal this moment in time. :twocents:


Such an awesome deal all the way through man! :tup:
Just tend your own and live.

I actually really like that pack suggestion. That would be somber and patriotic and a direct avenue to a memory of his.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

I have loved following this story since you were drawn. There are lots of great ideas for how to display it. I have ordered these plaques the last two years for my bulls. Super pleased with the quality in which they have been done. You can have anything engraved in them, even a picture of your brother. If you are interested I could send you the info.

Excited to see what you choose.
