Did not have my camera with me on this hunt so you get the living room shot. Third trip finally paid off. Happy with this one.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-22-07 AT 11:17PM (MST)[p]Tremendous mass! Just a great buck. Clearly there are no big bucks in California. Was that a bow kill?

No, had to use a rifle on this one.

Wow thats a great CA buck. Was that D12 ??

If its one of the D units that is some tough hunting.

This years buck or last years skull plate looks really clean.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-23-07 AT 10:22PM (MST)[p]X5A buck. The skull plate is clean because I am a taxidermist and clean the meat off of the skull as soon as it dries. I use a dremel, makes it look nice and no smell.

Thanks, yes that was me. I've calmed down a little, looks like they might send my buddy back at no charge, but nothing has been confirmed. One more Buck hunt in Nevada and I'll be done for the year.
