Looks awesome and kept him from making pope and young by about 5 inches. The book isn't really important but it would have been cool to know he was in the book.

Wlog,

Very nice.

I have a favor to ask if it possible with either this book or another you consider top class mount. If you were able could you take me a few pictures of where the antlers go into the skull? No problem if you cannot. Thanks.

Hope this helps. This is the only one I can get too without a 10' ladder.

Wlog,

Thank you very much for the time to do that for me.

Yes it does help. The reason I was asking is I allready got my mount back from October of this year. It does not have the fur coming up onto the antlers like yours does if I remember correctly, but I will look again today.

Also, he stated he could not fix the fur that was pulled off the hide when I dragged the deer out so one side (not to big of a section) is missing a patch. He said he tried to add some paint to blend it a little but it is still missing. It is not really noticeable at a distance and when I hang it I do not believe it will be seen. This was my first mount so I trained enough to gauge the quality of it. I am happy with it so I guess that is all that really counts.
