    That’s an awesome buck Dawg. Hope you can find his sheds and get a shot next year. Already a big and cool rack another year should make him more impressive.
    Good luck on the promotion too. Hope it works out.

    Hope it clears up fast. Had that hit some each year. Never fun. It’s as good of place as any to kill time. Be pretty awesome to get to 3. It’s felt like forever since season here already, looking forward to next for sure

    They look awesome. That’s one thing I wish in our house we had a vaulted ceiling to put stuff up like that. And just looks way better. Even high ceilings. 8’ really doesn’t do the best and with our layout. The pile of nice mounts looks great in that.

    Just rec’d a call from the taxidermist that the 2 reconditioned mounts are done as well. I’m in no condition to go get them now though. Doubt I’ll be at work tomorrow either

    Looked back on the history thread there were 2 previous teams to repeat. That gives us something to shoot for next year; no team has ever gone back to back to back.

    You got a nice looking buck there he’ll be a dandy next year.

    Good luck on the interview too!

    Interview was rough so I hope I make the cut. I will find out I hope this week. I have a good shot still and hope that it happens.

    I thought there was never a team to repeat so I was wrong. Sorry! I guess we need to THREE PEAT then!

    Don’t have a pic of all of mine in one place but thought you guys might like to see my 2016 droptine buck mount.

    Nacho Libre from this year is still at the taxidermist and I’ve got 2 more good ones since moving to IL 4 years ago. Once Nacho is back I’ll have to see if I can get a pic with all of them together.

    Wow looks like I missed a lot!!!!!

    RB..... well done. No doubt you earned that one. You put in more hours then everyone on the team, had the scare of losing your hunting grounds mid season. And still pulled it off!!!! Well done!

    Boys I think we did something that has never been done before. Back 2 Back champs!!!! I am heading on vacation tomorrow to MExico. I am wearing my championship jersey to the airport!!!

    I think we need championship rings lol

    Championship rings would be epic! Lol. Like my beloved Patriots will be getting again Sunday! Lol.
    Great looking mounts guys. Those are slammers. I love seeing nice mounts. Regardless of size. But Rick, that drop tine is a stud!! Wow. And Andrew, wow. What that big boy score?
    I can’t imagine seeing a deer that size

    My first ever Blue Snow Goose.
    [​IMG]

    My first ever Specklebelly Goose

    [​IMG]

    My first Drake Green Wing Teal
    [​IMG]

    One shelf of my big antlers and some of my big shells from Florida.
    [​IMG]

    The second side of shelves of antlers and shells. My 11 pointer match set is the 2nd shelves from the bottom on both sides.
    [​IMG]

    Two big antlers as ends to my TV
    [​IMG]

    My first ever buck a small 5 point
    [​IMG]

    My 10 pointer
    [​IMG]

    My 11 pointer and I have a match set of sheds with pictures of him sporting the sheds and then two singles off of this guy. I have a big history with him and was the first one that I have had that and killed. Three other bucks that I have had a history with were killed by other hunters.

    and my Iron Buck Champ Trophy I won!
    [​IMG]

    This is the space where my 9 point buck from this year will be going since he is my highest scoring buck.
