[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4231074, member: 69"] As far as mounts...I've been deer hunting since 1973 and I've killed a load of deer. In all that time I've mounted a few dozen deer but only 3 for myself. They were done in the 80's and there's nothing particularly special about them other than the weight and age of one of them, and that doesn't show in the rack. None of them would even break 120" but when they were killed I was tickled to death. After that I just started collecting the racks. My goal was to use them in crafts or to build an archway over my driveway or an antler totem pole and at the rate I was going it would have been a real possibility. Before that happened and while the buck limit was still 11/season I suppose I phased out of the kill mode and into the hunt mode. I'd go seasons without a kill although I could have easily taken a limit every year, and still can. I can't begin to guess just how many bucks I've passed since then that were larger than those I had on the wall. My rack collection hasn't had an addition since. Those that I have and do squeeze the trigger on I now skull mount or use as rattling antlers. I seriously doubt that I will ever get another full mount no matter the size of the rack. If I'm to ever to build that pole I'm going to have to start me a "go rack me" account. [/QUOTE]
