My Chief killed this deer in 1982. He entered it in a local Big Buck contest and won first prize. It included a free mount and a new 30-30 rifle. Since he already had a 30-30, he traded it for a Ruger GB Mini 14 SS. He is still carrying it as his patrol rifle.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

That would still be a great buck today and was a really big buck back then.

Why'd they stop making bucks smile in the mounts? That's a nice touch.

Maybe he was smiling like this deer before he shot it. Taxi just wanted him to look natural.

There's a lot of good bucks in Tyler County!!! A lot of them are too narrow to shoot but still good bucks!!!
