Last year's buck back from the taxidermist #11434400 09/13/16 Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 2,845 Texas R RyanTX OP Campfire Regular OP RyanTX Campfire Regular R Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 2,845 Texas Getting ready for this upcoming season to start and got the call from the taxidermist today. He's not real tall, but he's got good width and some character. His teeth were worn completely flat and were about the thickness of a nickel.

My youngest son was with me, but he had already filled his buck tag. We were out that evening hoping to see some pigs and he came out right before last light. First time we had seen him all season, never showed up on a camera either. "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

The local taxidermist did a great job he's won a lot of awards for his birds, but does a great job on big critters too. He's doing some restorations for our museum and has a huge wolf in there now.

He was actually the first deer I've taken in 3 years. I've turned into a "guide" for my boys. They shoot the deer and I shoot the pigs. But, as I mentioned before, when we saw him and my son's tag was already punched, I decided it was "dad's turn". Ha. "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
