Congrats!
Nice buck, congrats!
Nice one Ducker. Good job.
Hey, way to go Ducker.... One to be proud of for sure.
Nice buck i would be proud of it myself . He would have gotten shot coming by me .
Best part was I was only in the stand for 30 mins!
Ever thought about a skull mount from the taxidermist? I really like the look of them. And it's a lot cheaper........just a thought.
It's a pretty easy do-it-yourself too!Quote:

Paid $175 for one, looked real bad...
My buddy recommended a guy to me for $300, said he does awesome work, now to just find a # for him!
300 ain't bad ifn he does good work, paid 400 for the 2 I told you about 25 years ago but Bobby Wade, RIP, did them from Macon. Bet Feesh and Grease know that name.Quote:

We'll that price is a buddy price! Said he tans em and what not. Heck this will prolly be the biggest I ever kill, I was meat hunting and was playing with my call and here this dude came running!
Nice buck.
Good un!!
Good job, congrats
Buck McAlpin Millington's Taxidery.....Does great work!!
Leland James in Sturgis was 300.00 in 1985 . lol . my take home was 520.20 . My wife thought I was nuts , she was right!:dono sounds like a good deal to me . congrats on the buck .kill em ! keep them off my wife's hood . She shoots a Buick ! when we lived in Water Valley she got 2-3 per year .
Nice buck, congrats!
Nice deer Ducker. From the looks of that rack he has been fighting for his territory!
I'm thinking he broke that brow and g2 early on, it was rounded over pretty good. I seen on TV a couple weeks ago tho that a healthy deer with good stuff to eat on can throw on an inch every 2 days!Quote:
