From now on, I will not kill a deer under 160". Shawn, I expect you to give me the number of that guy that did your dirty work. Every 120" 8 pointer I kill is gonna end up looking like the most obnoxious thing you have ever seen. Honest injun. Image

You'll kill'em at 120", and get them back from the taxidermy shop at 180".

That's using your head. Image

I'm thinking about just doing this stuff myself. Also, I may start scoring my own deer and forging signatures and numbers. I've had enough of this being at the bottom of the barrel stuff.

If you'd stop shooting all the 120's that walk by, you could probably shoot a legitimate 160". If not now, at least in a year or two....and such.

That a boy, that's the spirit. I cant give you the number though. I dont want to keep this guy too busy, otherwise how in the world am I going to get my deer done in a timely manner....it takes a lot of time to turn a spike into a jaw dropping, world-class, no doubt about it (as long as I score it myself) 180 class deer.

So sorry, find your own partner in crime.

If I saw a 120 at the Tick Farm, I'd soil myself. Keep shooting 120's, PS. No shame in it at all.

Yeah OF, I know that about the 120"s. But, what about the 148" deer that has 10" of deductions on one side making him only a 138" deer? Dang thing should have been a 156" deer. All I would have to do is glue a little and saw the kicker point off of him and I would nearly have an illegitimate 160" deer.

Why stop there PS? That buck wanted to be a 174" buck, you can make his dreams come true with a little elbow grease, and epoxy.

Once I start, I don't plan to stop. Drop tines, multiple brow tines, you name it. It could get ugly. In fact, I may start my own business.

Now you boys are getting closer. But first you have to actually go far enough to have a a body made and different "outdoor backdrops" so when you get the mount back it looks like you actually just took to the picture after harvest...

Dont worry about killing a deer big enough to fit your "new" deer head. Just shoot a small one, I know a guy who can stretch those hides before they are stuffed to make them look like 280lb deer. Besides, I weigh them myself...they are all 280lb deer...... Image


ONLY 106 DAYS UNTIL BOW SEASON....man we are desperate.
