I think some of those scores are a little too high. I would put it more like in the low 70's if that because I have killed a deer very similar to that but with longer and more points than that.


You look to be a younger fella. I realize that this may be a very important deer to you and you may want to spend the money to get it recreated. But there will be plenty of time for you to get more deer. My advice is save your money and put it towards another hunt or lease or more gear. If you want to spend hundreds on it to get it recreated will you still feel the same in the end when you look at it on the wall? Is that recreated buck going to be any different than the pictures you already have? Are you doing it because your mad at the lose of the hide and antlers or because of the memory of the hunt. And if its for the memory of the hunt, make sure it really means that much to you. The pictures will be more real than the buck you will have recreated. I'm just saying...think about it. You will have more chances to get deer and bigger deer if you work for it. Think about spending that money on that because its about the memory of the hunt and not the trophy on the wall. Good luck with whatever you choose. I just felt I needed to speak up because I have seen this before and after it was done the ones that I know that did it, didn't feel the same passion for that recreated mount as they thought they would. Everyone has different viewpionts on stuff like this, I'm just trying to advise from my personal experience and opinion for whatever little its worth. Best of luck to you.

Your buck would look great with a euro mount
