Well after almost a year and a half, I finally got him back. He did not turn out like I hoped and not exactly what I asked for but I am thankful for him being back in my possession.

He aged at 7.5 and scored 134. He was a perfect management buck from the Callahan ranch in South Texas.

I think the mount looks great. Nice buck, I like the way he carries his mass out the beams and even up the tines. cheers

Nice tall buck up


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

Ag Hunter - I am right there with you. He is a trophy to me. Especially being as old as he was. It was hard to believe some of the deer that the ranch considered management.

I think it is a hell of a buck and great mount up However you had wanted it done, only you will know the difference, frustrating I know, have had a couple Taxidermist to that as well. Looks great in any case.

Good problem to have when they look as big or bigger mounted than on film. Nice buck!

I asked for semi sneak looking more out than upright (not sure what you call that form). I also specifically asked that his ears to NOT be on full alert. I Can't really explain all of the imperfections he has besides visible stitching and hair falling out everywhere. Lets just say I will be using a different taxidermist next time.
