Before and After

[Big Fin]

Upon returning home, the first thing I needed to do was head to the taxi and get the deer he finished while I gone.

All of you saw this pic of last year's whitetail.

Here he is, preserved for time eternal.

Excellant Work! What Next????????????????????? John

By the pics that appears to be some good taxidermy. Did you ever tape that buck Randy?

 

[noharleyyet]

What a wicked cool right side G2..awesome mount Fin.

 

[Calif. Hunter]

Helluva buck! Congratulations, again!

 

[Big Fin]

Thanks guys. This guy does some really good work. If Greenie will let me buy back my NM pronghorn, I plan to bring that to him for the next addition.

The official tape on this buck was 160 3/8 gross, after the 60 day drying period. As you can see, lots of summetry problems, so he netted 149 4/8.

Still a great buck, especially for a moron who can't even shoot a buck in Iowa.

Wonderful mount,you should be happy with the job he did.So did you see bigger deer in Iowa?

 

[JoseCuervo]

As you can see, lots of summetry problems, so he netted 149 4/8.

Hahaha..... Kind of funny to have you having a "summetry" problem. Hope you get that solved before Fiscal Year Ends start rolling into you....


Congrats on a nice buck from last year. I don't remember the bent horn on the right side. That is pretty cool.

awesome mount Big Fin. gotta love the double splits he has.

 

[Spitz]

Looks great Randy! That trophy room is growing. Any european's hung yet?

 

[Oak]

That's an awesome buck, and great looking mount. And it's probably bigger that a lot of guys in Iowa have ever killed.

 

[ashersdad]

Wow, that's a beautiful buck. The mount looks incredible. Glad you made it home safe.

 

[Big Fin]

......Any european's hung yet?

Thanks for the idea of where to get the cool looking Euro boards.

 

[Big Fin]

And now that my wife and my internet friends have cleared so much wall space for me, now I can probably get these ones off the floor and onto the wall.

[Nut]

Great stuff

I really do like the field picture.

 

[elk_hunter]

Wow! You've had some awesome kills!

 

[Spitz]

Those look great! You're going to need a bigger man cave pretty soon. Maybe move Matthew's stuff out?

 

[Lawnboy]

I've noticed a lot of vultures and ravens circling your house, Now I know why. Lots of dead animals in that house.

Quite the collection. Beautiful deer.
