How old were you? 23 How many years did you hunt before? 3 Bow or Gun? Shotgun - 100 yards. What was the story? Why did you mount it? Went to Illinois on our honeymoon. We did a split trip - husband hunted bow five days, I hunted shotgun for three days. Saw a monster first morning and a coyote came out and ran it off. I thought I screwed up the hunt. Next morning we watched a little buck run down a doe. About 30 minutes later this guy came out and ran the same doe trail. Mounted because he was my first - and also one of our biggest. Did you kill any bucks before it that you didn't mount? If so, how big were they? Nope, he was my first - and still my only.

I was 34 I had been hunting for 24 years Shot him with a bow, guns take a little out of the experience (I have mounted one that was shot with a gun though but I used a pistol on that one) I mounted it because it was the first one to meet my requirements for mounting a deer, over 150" gross. I am finally having my 3rd buck mounted this year and it is the first one that I lowered my requirements on and it only scored 145 gross but was an extremely exciting hunt.
