broken line Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 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 !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracker x-2 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Nice looking deer can you say brow tines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Nicest 12 I have shot-scored I believe 172. North Dakota deer This one scored around 148, not that wide but still a decent 10. Minnesota deer This one needs the cape attached, is a nice 10 but not alot of spread. North Dakota deer I have a few more P&Y bucks but the racks are laying in the shed. The others are from North Dakota and Montana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crappie Rage Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Scoot, I am divorced, own my house and my girlfriend lives with me at a very discounted rate. That means I pretty much have last say on the interior decorating. Hoping to add on a 4 season porch with a woodburner and all mounts in a year or two.

jnorm1984 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Crappie.WOW! Thats just a great collection of giants! But I suppose it doesn't take long to get a collection like that together when you shoot 2 wall mounters a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmc Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 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! 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. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticknstring Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Nice bit of history behind those trophy's Brian. Beautiful bear hide! Great looking mounts to everyone else as well. Very impressive room CR. I have only one contribution to add, my 2010 MN buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Three awesome additions, fellas! Nice critters!!!I just ordered the final piece to my project- if all goes well I'll get it together and post some pics in a month or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWBuck Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Fun thread to see everyone's mounts and rooms...I'll play. Left to right: 1996 Shotgun, NW Iowa. 2009 Muzzleloader, NW Iowa. 2010 Archery, Southern Iowa. 2004 Archery, NW Iowa. Scores ranging from 139 to 147. And soon to be added...assuming we can find room on the wall. Daughter's 2011 Muzzleloader buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticknstring Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 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! Is that a 3x3? Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWBuck Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 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! 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 BTW, eyeguy, love those velvet racks!! What state did they come from?

InTheNorthwoods Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Lots of nice deer. It is interesting to see the difference in taxidermy work - it really proves that its an "art" and not a "job." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungdeflator Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Great mounts everyone! Ive only done euro mounts so far, after I finish my ND buck from this year Ill post pics. Eyeguy-- Was there extra costs to do the mounts with velvet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 ND on the 3 velvet bucks. about 50 for the velvet treating. I had them freeze dried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
