I really enjoyed seeing all the shoulder mount pictures last year so lets try it again. The one facing to the right is from 2010 rifle season - scored approximately 135....the one facing to the left is from 2011 bow season - scored 155 7/8. I have nothing else to show for my past 25 years of hunting unfortunately !!!

Awesome stuff, fellas! Tom, that straight 12 of yours is so dang impressive! Clean, symetrical, and perfect!

Crappie- wow, that's quite a little nook you've got there! How'd you get your wife to put all those heads in there?

Donbo- awesome! I absolutely LOVE the whitetails- really nice. Great goat and nice muley too!

I've only shoulder mounted one deer in my life. I'll save the pics for a while- I'm working on a project I hope to finish in the next month or so and I'll get some pics with that and the deer in the background. I hope my project turns out as great as I'm envisioning it...

Here's a blackbear that I arrowed Sept. 1997. I got him on the first night, after passing him up thinking he was too small. Then a 150'ish pound bear came in and I knew I screwed up. When this one came in the 2nd time, he walked the exact same trail right under my stand. Talk about deja vu! He dressed 250 lbs.

I shot this buck, a 9 pointer in Boone County, Iowa November 2000. That was the year I left my miserable X, so it has extra special meaning! grin I went to hunt one stand that was so overgrown w/ multi flora rose that I couldn't hack my way through to get to the tree. Our buddies had shot some big deer out of this stand, so I was bummed. I went to another stand on the edge of a bean field and climbed in. An hour later, 13 turkeys walked by single file and 5 minutes later this guy is standing broadside at 15 yds. I made a less than perfect shot and spined him and he dropped on the spot. I was so rattled that I tried 3 or 4 times to draw my bow to shoot him again, but couldn't. I had to sit on my stand, close my eyes, draw my bow in the opposite direction of the deer, and then turn to him and make a perfect lung shot. He grossed 126" P & Y.

I'm impatiently waiting for my antelope from last fall.

Great wall NWBuck! I have no doubt you'll find room for your daughter's buck, even if it means moving one of yours to the garage! smile Is that a 3x3? Wow.

Thanks...yeah, it is a giant 3x3 frame with little 1 inch crabclaw points at the end of each main beam, so technically an 8 I suppose. Shooting a big deer is fun, but watching one of your kids shoot a big deer is waaaaaay better grin

BTW, eyeguy, love those velvet racks!! What state did they come from?
