Cool Buck

[slatebuilder]

My father killed a pretty nice buck on the last day of the Pennsylvania rifle season. It was a typical big woods PA mountain buck. A wide spread 7-8ish point with short broken tines and long knarly beams. He was just a neat looking old deer. We discovered the coolest part of him this week as we cleaned the skull for a euro-mount. The buck had upper canines. I have not cleaned a lot of skulls, but this was a first for us.
