Season's Trophy
A European mount for Jmk's trophy for this past deer season. And here are the stats:
Killed January 5, 11-pt, 13.5" inside spread. According to the taxidermist, it was about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 years old. But, it only weighed 140lbs, which is weird for that area at that age. Should have been 180 lbs at least.
(For all my friends who are raising eyebrows and saying "what?" lol..... I had to have Jmk tell me all that stuff. I'm learning, but am not *quite* there yet.)
Good job honey!

What?!? ;) What is a "European mount" or dare I ask?
Ah. Yes, I had to learn that one also. A European mount is simply the skull and antlers. It's not the full head and shoulders of the deer. Jmk's trophy from last season was bigger than this one, so he went with the less expensive mount. I haven't actually seen it in real life, but he says it looks a lot better in person. The skull is bleached white, and the dark brown of the antlers really gives it a neat appearance. One of these days I'll get up to his office to see it!
