I'm honored to be your first ATTEN thread
Yes, that's the buck I shot 2 seasons ago, just got him back from the taxidermist. Real happy with the way he turned out too!! He's actually the first A-typical buck I've shot that was worth having a mount done ---- his rack is interesting with crab claws, and a 3rd beam. MY taxidermist swears up and down he has a 3rd beam and he's never seen one before. The best woodsman I know (retired DEC guy), doesn't think it's a 3rd beam, so there is some doubt, but my DEC buddy hasn't seen him in person yet so the jury is still out on that one. I'm no expert on antlers so I honestly don't know. I just know a good rack when I see one
And yes, PeeTex, he's almost gone. Sad, very sad.
