Got my "Booner" back.....

[nontypical2002]

I got my buck back over the weekend. I think the guy did a pretty good job on him. I made the base for the mount because I wanted something to match our game room. Everything in our game room is cedar trim in one way or another. I also built a big bar out of cedar so I wanted the base to match it all. The top of the base swivels 360 degrees for viewing from all sides of the mount. I wanted to use a fence post along with scent bottle to create the reason behind the lip curl. I think we pulled it off....hope you all like it!!!!

[nontypical2002]

Thanks for all the replies fella's!!! The buck was taken with a crossbow at a distance of 14yds from a ground blind. He scores 197"B+C. He is 21 1/2" inside and his greatest width is 25 1/2".

Check your e-mail when you can. I'd like to chat with you a bit about this deer for a possible magazine article. Thanks.

Really nice deer, like the mount also

[thunderchicken09]

Did you kill this in Kentucky?

[nontypical2002]

The deer was taken about 2hrs north of Cincinnati. It was Allen County to be exact. There aren't too many B+C deer out of this county. It's alot of agriculture fields with small wood lots. I know I have 2 from this county....this deer at 197" and my 2002 deer which scored 189 4/8th. I'll have to take a picture one of these days of our game room we have in our basement to show you guys some of our mounts we have.

[Devil Anse]

He's a dandy sure enough! The spinning pedestal is a great idea!

[chucky]

Awesome buck and nice mount!

[greenskeeter]

[etownhunter]

Id probably have to stick a fatty cigar in his mouth and celebrate!

[jasunky1]

Congrats on the Buck!!! Nice Mount

[buck buster 1]

great buck--bet you want to mount it hon-yak

[pope and young]

What did it score?

[nontypical2002]

He scores 197" even. The taxidermy work was done by "Lieurance Wildlife Expressions" in Lima, Ohio. When standing face to face with the mount you're eye to eye with him. Kind of just makes you say...wow. It's a wonder something like that can make it through a woods. There is another buck in the same area I got this one that we've nick named the "Spilt G-2" for obvious reasons. He's about 3-4" wider than this deer and he does have spilt G-2's on both sides. I've been after him for 5yrs. I passed him last year because his rack was broke off from the G-2 forward on the right side. I got some real good video of him that night. We saw him this year only once and he was 35yds away from my son and I. My son told me to shoot, shoot but out of those 35yds, 15 of them had him standing on posted property. I just couldn't do it. He turned and walked back towards the orchard area. That was the last time we saw him "in person". I do have him on trail cam pictures.

[Matt722mx]

You should post the trail cam pictures I would like to see him.

[buck buster 1]

tell us more of the emotion you had when that monster started to walk away from you in the posted area, you just had to have wanted to cry. you probably thought you would never see that behemouth again, what exactly was you emotional mind set--please share

[buckfever]

That is a very large deer.

If you've shot 2 booners off of this property, and have had a close encounter with an even larger third, you obviously are hunting a spot where the bucks are allowed to mature.

I'd be interested in knowing about the size of the property, your management plan, and the hunting pressure (both on your hunting spot and other adjacent areas).

Congrats. . . .Super World-Class Buck (which is almost an understatement)

[moe40356]

very cool mount congrats

[nontypical2002]

Don't have alot of time so I'll post the pictures and explain later. I will say this is the Split G-2 we video taped last year. This is a 5+yr quest. Sorry for the poor quality of pictures. I'd love to be able to post the video clip. Keep in mind that his left main beam is broken off at the G-2 forward. I took the pictures from the video...

[PSmith]

nice mount! did you take him over a tinks sent bomb?

[turk2di]

Fine buck 4sure!

[nontypical2002]

The deer in the 2 photo's taken from our video is the buck we call the Spilt G-2 buck. This video was from 2006. You can see his left main beam is broken off from the G-2 forward. He was following some does right to us that night. He is REAL wide as you can see. If I could upload the video you could see for yourself. His brows are spilt also, he has 3-4 tines where his brows are. All about the same length. This year he wasn't broke up early like he has been in the past. We only saw him a couple times so we don't know if he's still alive yet or not. The deer I took this year was smelling in a fact scrape just before I shot him. The over hanging branches had scent bombs and tarsal glands hanging in the branches.

now that is a nice mount

[stevemeadows]

I think you pulled it off.. very nice display.

[str8 shot]

nicest mount and display ive seen in a while...awesome mount and buck

[kyarcher]

WOW:eek::eek::eek: Thats the coolest mount I've ever seen.

[buck buster 1]

wow, I just remembered that in 2006 I had a buck that was just alittle bit bigger. If you would like to see a picture just ask. I guess that is why they call me the BUCK BUSTER, yeah cool. My buck was taken in New Haven Indiana, she was a monster. Thanks

[NonTyp]

Very cool mount of a stud buck!!

[buck buster 1]

i see movement anticipating the plight, of what may come into my sight, forworn of what may lay ahead, what will recieve this chunck of lead, feeling the thrills of uncertain hope, the target is clearing through my scope, the final word may say alot, I now open my eyes to see what I shot, my begging wish was for a buck, but what I got was a bright red truck, I'll struggle through the night to try and skin it, next week a hunter course and I will begin it.
