Sneakiest slyest buck I’ve ever seen sneaking through the woods. Mainframe 8pt with drop tine and G2 kicker. Drop tine was trying to split into 3 and he was trying to grow a G4 on one side.

I’m not a fan of how he looks here but it is where he is and will be for a while

Before I went to school for taxidermy nothing was hung in the house. One day I hung a euro mount and didnt tell my wife. It took 4 days till she noticed. Better to ask for forgiveness....just do it.

I haven’t been able to convince her to let me have one mounted yet. Maybe I’ll start quiet and subtitle. We have a hog head that the ants finished picking clean a week ago, I’m gonna boil it and hang it in the living room wall opposite of the TV and hope for the best. Knowing my wife, she will notice it right away and I’ll be throwing it in the trash by the nights end... :(
 
Fortunately I’ve never had to convince as they knew going in that I hunt and have heads on the wall, so they accepted their fate when they started dating me. Good luck

My wife loves eating venison. She even helps me skin and process our deer and hogs. But she absolutely refuses to let me mount trophy heads or even fish for that matter. She said a good outdoorsman doesn’t need trophies to convince people he’s good. She said a good one does like the natives and eats/utilizes what he kills. I tell her that’s crappy and a trophy deer or fish are memories. She said that’s why they invented a camera. That’s her rationalization. Then she got drunk on our anniversary and came clean. It’s truly because she thinks it looks tacky and doesn’t match our decor... she won’t let me have the camo recliner from bass pro either. Since she’s the only thing I love more than hunting and fishing, she ends up getting her way. I’m still contemplating his euro mount idea. Sneak it on the wall and hope for the best.

The turning point for me was after my wife saw what went into mounting a deer for a customer. Saw how much work/art went into it. Then she appreciated them.
 
Nice buck @Gator.

My wife never had the chance to say no to the mounts on the wall.
Man I wish. I make decent money as a utility worker especially when hurricane season rolls around but my wife is an SVP for a decent sized company. She’s the bread winner lol so she makes the rules. I tell people “Around my house I am the king!.... inside the house it’s a whole different story”. Lol
