buckee Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I wanted to post this for my friend Ross Tyser, since photo Post is acting up right now. Ross took this fella back in November in Virginia at 27 yards with his crossbow. He couldn't afford a full mount so he had the processor save me part of the skull plate with the antlers attached and he was going to do a Plaque mount himself. But Tim Andrus hooked him up with his Taxidermist and they traded out for the mount. 11 points - gross score 149.75 - net 143.75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerforged Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thanks for posting this for me Steve. Still can't get in to Photo Post or Private Messaging. Any way, many thanks to Tim Andrus for hooking me up with Jake Doty - Doty Taxidermy "Where quality comes first.". Jake was willing to work a trade with me for the mount and I cannot wait to get this up on the wall in my office. Especially since I lost the pics from the hunt when that so and so broke into my truck and stole my camera a few weeks back. Jake does great work as you can see from the pic he sent me of my trophy. This is without a doubt the biggest brute I have ever taken and to say that I was shaken at the time would be an understatement. We had seen sign and a few pics of him on the trail cameras but I was sure that he would not be around by the time I was able to get up there to hunt in November. I don't know if any of you have ever used the Gamefinder Megaears or not but they made the differnece for me on this hunt. I heard him coming from behind and to the right of me before I ever saw him and was able to reposition myself in the ground blind I was using to be ready for the shot if he should give me the chance. Well, he never slowed down and walked right into my shooting lane at 27 yards and the Horton Hunter and Rage Broadhead did their job. He went about 30 yards and piled up, but I was afraid to move for what seemed like an hour, probably only 20 minutes or so, but you know what I mean.

buckee Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'll have to take a peak at those "Gamefinder Megaears" now, since I'm half deaf and count on my sight more than my hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Great buck Ross! Congrats. It looks awesome. Jake did a heck of a job. It is a small small world after all . From South Carolina to Virginia to New York. Jake Doty strikes again! I have known Jake for some time. About 7 years or so. He comes from a long line of Taxidermists in the family and his work shows it. I am about to send him a Black Squirrel to mount for us. Again Ross...Great rack and a very sweet mount.
