Crossbow buck on the wall

Was able to pick up my first crossbow buck and get the mount up on the wall. I killed this buck on Oct 31st last fall.
Pics before the kill in August 2014.

Pic in late Sept.

Pic right after I found him after hunting him all archery season till the last morning.

Pic from cell phone outside after I picked up the mount.

Pic of the mount finally on the wall.

Nice!! Could not help but notice the pot belly and a bit of a swayed back. Old mature deer.

Very nice buck. The mount looks great. Amazing how much he muscled up after that velvet pic.

Yessir. Good stuff right there.

Great looking buck and mount

STX, you have a link handy for this "hunt story?" I searched, but was over-whelmed by sheer quantity of posts.

Congrats on a great mature deer!

Great buck and mount!!! I know what you put into hunting that deer and there is no doubt that he is something to be proud of. I looked forward to the updates every morning until the day you finally shot him. I know he isn't anywhere near your biggest, but first crossbow buck, off your own property, and the hours and "cat and mouse" surely make him just as special as any you have on the wall.

Congrats again!!!

Glad you still have room on the wall!

Thanks all

Great homegrown buck! Could you give some details on your bow, i am considering buying a new crossbow instead of another compound?

The one I have is an Excalibur Equinox.

Thanks! Enjoyed reading that.

I enjoyed the hunt just as much if not more

How does it shoot, pretty consistently accurate? Groups well?

Great, yes and yes. See picture in other thread of dead buck

lol

Looks good man! Reminds me I need to make a call.

Lol i saw you drilled him! I will check into those! Been considering a new compound but instead may go with a crossbow. Thanks for your feedback and again thats a fine buck you grew!

That's a mighty fine buck!

Mount looks great! It's a nice addition to the wall!!!

That's the perfect whitetail in my books, awesome work mate.

Very nice buck but the story behind it is even better.

Very nice!

Thanks again all.

Turned out very Nice
