    It took a year to get him back but I am thrilled with the work of the taxidermist. Except for losing some of the red blood color where the velvet was beginning to shed, the freeze dry process preserved the velvet perfectly. THis public land buck grossed at 192 3/8. For reference the whitetail rack on the left is 124" and the one on the right, well thats my first ever archery deer.
