Not completely done with the finishing touches on the pedestal but I was able to finally get the mounts up. Grateful for a taxidermist who understood my vision. Couldn't be happier. Now I just have to deal with a daughter who is expecting similar results this year on her first hunt. Double Pedestal ...

This deer beat the one from the year before in gross. It has an official gross score of 200 and a net typical of 178 and net non-typical of over 190. My sons ended up with a gross 187 and net typical 172. I was glad to find that I didn't ruin my son for good. This year after passing on a nice 3 poin...

Thank you for all the comments. The one down side to harvesting a deer on the first day of the muzzeloader hunt and having my son tag out on the second day, is that I have to wait 300 plus days to do it again. The itch to get back out hunting mule deer has already set in.

That trip occurred shortly after we got home. I just picked up my mount from last year a few weeks ago. When I was picking it up, the taxidermist jokingly said, "bring me another one soon." I think he was the only person more shocked than us.

I thought that I had reached the pinnacle of my hunting experience last year when I harvested a 188 4/8 net typical mule deer. That was until a few days ago. My son who just this month turned 12, was able to participate in the muzzleloader hunt for his first hunting experience. Being the first year ...

Well after the drying period was over, I decided to have it officially measured. The final net B&C score was 188 2/8. The one abnormal point it has on the right side that resulted in a 1 7/8 deduction dropped him below the 190 mark. I don't recall what the exact gross score was but am pretty sure it...

Pretty crazy and unique regardless of the reason why. Thanks for sharing.

Again, thanks for the coments. @killerbee and sactribe, I have found it helpful to know others have plowed through similar situations. I know my wife has found great strength in knowing she is not alone and there are others out there who know what she is going through. So thank you to all for your u...

Nice Buck! Congrats on the harvest and doing it with your family.

I have lived in Cedar City, UT for all but 9 years of my life. I have always loved being in the mountains regardless of the reason why. I always find that October is when I enjoy being in the mountains the most as it is the one time I feel I can just go sit on a hill side for hours and enjoy all tha...
