    Well guys, I promised that I would post some photos of my buddies buck whenever he got it back from the taxidermist. He got the call Friday that it was done and of course I got that call that I had to come see it.

    The buck was shot on the first day of the 2010 rifle season here in PA, and it was shot in Elk County. Matt and I scored the buck after it was shot and came up with 155-7/8" net score.... after the 60 day drying period the buck was officialy scored at 159-6/8" gross and 154-6/8" net. It is entered in the PA record book and it is in the top 10 largest typical bucks ever shot in that county. Well here are the pics

    P.S. Ryan, Ron did and absolutely amazing job on this buck, his normal work is great but he must have put extra time in this buck as it is a big step up from what he has done for Matt and I in the past.

    I still say that's the best looking 8 I've ever seen.

    Congrats, again, to the hunter.

    Great mount.

    I usually don't like the tree-limb thing but that looks really good with this mount.
