Finally got my buck back!

Recommended Posts

After a little over 10 months of waiting.... I finally got my buck back from the taxidermist.. and I must say, I'm SO happy with it! grin.gif

I killed this 8 point last fall on the first day of rifle season! Now keep in mind, although he's not the biggest buck ever killed, he's my first buck.... and the memories I have from the hunt were enough in itself to have him mounted, that way the day I was lucky enough to take him would be forever fresh in my mind! grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Pictures definately don't do this mount justice!!

Natures Way Taxidermy in Beckley..! Don Dawson is his name..... great fella to do business with! He's won multiple awards for his work...... but specializes in mammals and is mostly known for his full size bear mounts! I'm not sure where you're from, but one day if you're in the Beckley area, look him up and pay his shop a visit... he has a showroom and everything. grin.gif

The buck looks great Alisha! I wish I would have gotten my first deer/first buck mounted. My step-dad wasn't sure if we should of or not and asked my uncle. Then he said that I would probably get bigger so he just made a antler mount for me. Congrats though he is an awsome trophy! grin.gif
