Re: What a surprise gift from Steve ( Buckee )

Your welcome Ken...my friend wink.gif

I guess this makes us square for that dog who stole your antlers out of my compost pile so many years ago eh..LOL. Back when Ken could still pull the ol' bow, he got a dandy (and I mean dandy) 2x2 blacktail down on the one farm we hunt. This thing was a monster. That buck had width and height like you would not believe. Tines that reached to the sky...but an ol' neighbourhood dog, stole the antlers on us. ooo.gifmad.gif You put a perfect heart-shot on that puppy too, back then and he piled up within 100 yrds.

Over the years, Ken's MS has gotten worse and worse, and he had to give up the bow altogether. Now he only gets out hunting when the cold weather hits, and even then, he doesn't get out that much.

Last year, Ken got that monster with the shotgun. The big brute weighed in at the butchers at 107 lbs (I think it was), and that is huge for around here. Most good size bucks average between 80 and 95 lbs tops around here.

I knew you'd never be able to afford getting a buck mounted yourself, so hey...Merry Christmas. grin.gif

Why do you think I was so eager to help skin everyones bucks for them for the last 3 years...LOL. I was selling the capes to the taxidermist and getting a 50$ voucher toward a mount. It was just a matter of time before you got one worthy of mounting again and I figured with $300 in vouchers saved up, now was a good time to get it done, before a dog came along and stole this rack too...LOL grin.gif

You've been a good brother in Christ, a good friend and a good hunting partner for so many years Ken. It's the very least I could do for you man. You deserve so much more. wink.gif
