    Took a little over a year for him to get it done but I could not be happier with how it turned out.

    Scores 120" and was my first mature buck killed - I killed a 4pt when I was 12 and didn't kill a buck until this one. I passed up countless smaller 4, 6, and 8pt deer before this one finally showed up (only took 12 years)

    We had never seen this deer on our 80 acre property while running 6 cameras... Just goes to show what can happen during the rut!

    Awesome, and who knows, maybe this buck is one all those smaller bucks you passed up in previous years.

    Fine buck!, very symmetrical. I would have waited a year for that mount no problem, your taxidermist did a fantastic job, and I'd say that's worth the wait!

    Hit the nail on the head. Semi sneak. I wanted him mounted to look exactly like I did when I shot him.

    Nice looking mount. Passing up those smaller bucks definitely paid off for you.
