Well I've had my mount back for awhile now and I was playing with my Camera so I thought I'd post a before and after pic.

Nice rack! That antler configuration is what my father called an "antelope-horned buck", because of the height. I don't guess anybody really knows why some are like yours, others are widespread. And quite a few whitetails in south Texas are what are called "basket horned" because they sorta curl in, in front.

Ya done good, there...

I hope to kill a muley one day...That is a georgeous rack. Definitely one to be proud of. Great job...If I'd a shot it, it'd be on the wall too...Where'd you get him?

I think I shot his twin a few years back. I like the look of those narrower muley racks myself.

Very nice. Did you get him around here? The first shot looks like Eastern plains...

He is a plains deer from Lincoln County, I shot him off of a neighbor of my dad's. Dad still owns a working cattle ranch out east, lots of wide open country out there. I can't get over how tall the rack is I wish it was a little wider but I'm not really complaining. This is the first animal I ever had mounted, the deer I shot when I was 17 was probably a little better, but didn't have the money to have a mount done. The antlers have disappeared, think mom threw them out during my first four years in the Army.
