KirkV Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thats right the taxidermist just called last night and said he was ready for my horns to come to the shop. Call me wierd but I never like leaving a nice set of horns at the shop for 5-6 months when I can keep them at home and enjoy them the whole time. Well I took in my rub tree and we picked out a form where he will be mounted on a seperate post leaning into the rub tree. It will all be on one mount base with some natural grass and habitat involved. I also took in the shed horn I found from this buck and told him to incorperate it into the base somewhere lying in the grass but still visable. He stated he loves it when he gets a challenge mount instead of the same ol thing. In my opinion 162 class 10 point deserves a fitting display, I mean he made it 5 1/2 years before we met! LOL:D Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Never would have thought of keeping my antlers at home until the taxidermist was ready for them, that is a good idea. Look forward to seeing that mount Kirk. Going to be a nice one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Cant wait to see it Kirk. My cousin had a horror story with one of his heads. Took it to the same guy he used for years. Months and months went by with no response. The man had gotten involved with drugs and skipped town. My cousin had to get the cops to watch as he went in through the window to retrieve his half-finished Texas trophy. So, it's not always a bad idea to keep your horns, lol.

fly Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Me too Kirk, starting this past year I'll always keep my horns! I also ask for the skull now. I boil it down and get the teeth so I can age it. Looking foward to seeing your mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
