Artistic taxidermy in Edmonton, also Marko from Sugar Creek taxidermy in red deer both do great work.

Great buck, great photos, memories of a lifetime there, nice to see the bolt open, pictures can be tricky.

That's pretty cool that you were able to kill such a great deer in the presence of your sister and uncle. Their jaws must have dropped quicker than the deer!

Very nice buck, that will be one heck of a wall hanger. Lot's of good taxidermists, but personally I would recommend Brian at Artistic.

If you are interested, I could show you six mounts from one guy that span 40 years. In sherwood park.
Reg Perras is Taxidermy plus.
He is near kingman/tofield but will also travel.
You should go Visit the taxi you are going with though.
That is a nice buck.
You will remember it forever.
Your story almost reminds me of my first whitetail.
Total fluke? Or skill 
Put it on the wall.
start saving $750.
Be prepared to leave a Deposit with your guy.

Thanks
So as his uncle that takes this young man hunting and does what he can to make sure he does things the way he should and makes sure he is safe and luckily to be able to take him when he should be in school and have a group of hunters that say bring him and now his sister. I am so proud to be able to say this young man is doing so well at hunting and doing what is required to be the best hunting partner one can ask for. I have hunted for 30 plus years and never seen anyone who has the desire to hunt as this young man that I am so proud to call my nephew.He does what is asked of him and more . I am one happy uncle.
