My Dad shot this buck a few years ago on a place in Atascosa County. He had him as a euro mount. I decided to make a shoulder mount of the deer for him. Got the mount finished up today and thought I would share it with the group. The beams are about 19" long and no points. The deer was 8 1/2 years old and the place is low fenced.

I did the shoulder mount myself. I took a class last summer and
have been doing a few for family and friends to get some practice.
Thanks for the compliment BOBO.

Yeah I would have mounted that in a heartbeat
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Cool mount. Looks like an alien deer.
