2011 Bow Buck is Back

I picked up my 2011 archery buck last night, been a long wait but it was worth it. This is the first buck I've ever had mounted and it wasn't just because of the rack but the fact that it was a pretty special deer to me.

The aggressive pose I chose for the mount was a no-brainer as that was his exact pose when I released the arrow. He was coming in to confront two other bucks and he was a bit peeved. I'm tickled to death in the way it turned out and just looking at it takes me back to that exact moment in time, which is what a mount should do in my opinion.

I want to thank Bill Solinger of Solinger's Taxidermy in Shelocta, PA for an outstanding job! It exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be happier.

For anyone who missed it the first time around, the story of this hunt and the buck can be found in this post...Ending A Drought and Moving Forward.
