billygoat Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 There was a time, when I wouldn't have thought twice about putting a 100+ inch deer on the wall, but this year, after several years of taking "nice" deer, and having the wife take a "buck of a lifetime". 105" just didn't seem to meet the bar. This buck was shot in Iowa and really was a great deer, but in my heart I knew the wife would always say... But mines bigger. Anyways, I chose to have a european mount done on him, and I guess it turned out pretty nice... Just don't laugh! [/image] [/image] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Re: 2004, 105\" Iowa deer Both of those look really great! Is that the deer you got shotgun hunting? The skull is really nice and white, I have to get mine like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinsonovagun Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Re: 2004, 105\" Iowa deer Nothing wrong with that deer! What's that pedestal mount???? Post a pic of that!! (and your wife........ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billygoat Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Re: 2004, 105\" Iowa deer Russell, that's the buck I shot in in Iowa last year, w/ a shotgun... that would be him. The pedestal mount is my bow kill from 2003, a 115" 9 point, as far as the wife goes... If you need to see a pic of her, she is posted w/ her deer, in my photo's, the pedestal deer is also there.

MadHuntinPastor Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: 2004, 105\" Iowa deer Nice picks! Ouch...that is kinda like your wife beating you at bowling. Even if you get a good score. She can always rub it in. (hasn't happened to me yet) And my wife doesn't hunt so mine will always be the BIGGEST!! Both great deer though. I'd be happy to have yours hanging on my wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugger Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Re: 2004, 105\" Iowa deer hey billy goat i really like the skull mount im a big fan of them. See if you can find a large piece of drift wood to screw or glue it to and hang it on the wall. i bet it will get as much attention as any of your mounts.
