    Tattoo on my arm that is. :tu: I've been thinking about this for a while and finally went and did it last night.

    This buck has a special place in my life. He was my first buck taken by bow back in 1996. And I killed him on my wife's birthday that year, November 9th.

    On the ground.

    Damn you John, I thought you scored! Well, I guess you did in a way. Nice artwork.

    Hey, I'm thinking it was the mustache back in '96... maybe you should sport the 'stache this weekend and see if that lifts the curse!

    Yeah, I have to agree, I was looking online for a design and most of them looked liked cartoons or some wierd breed of deer. I was really impressed with the artist I had do my tattoo. He does some truely great work. And I really think he made it look like my buck.

    Thanks for the comments guys. Not planning another one any time soon tho.

    Sweet John great minds think alike.. I had my first 150 I ever shot made into a euro mount with the Chinese letters for hunter underneath it.. So that way you end up with "Whitetail hunter".. Here it is..
