Well maybe one day you'll find a half decent buck........
Hahaha! Kidding man, I hope you can get those restored because they look pretty special to me!

Thanks for the compliments .....
Years ago the common thing was for us to do up Euro mounts (if anything at all) - but this one got pinned to the fence to dry and stayed there for years. Most recently it was in my mom's flower bed.
My dad started out as one of those "you can't eat the horns" meat hunters and it took him years to begin to appreciate the antlers - and that's how he taught me in my earlier years. I don't think I knew how this compared to the average decent buck for years and years after.
Today I think I appreciate fact that although it's imbalanced and might not score well - it's decent buck that brings back great memories - so If I can restore it, I'd like to hang this up in the house.
30+ years later and this still one the finest I've taken.
