These animals are so resilient. This buck was shot with a bow, then walked around for a week and finally got taken down by a rifle. We found the broadhead and the bullet when we skinned him out. He turned out to be a great looking mount, I personally really like this head up look.

Nice little basket rack for someone’s first time buck!

This big bodied buck was killed just down the road from my shop! I really like his antlers, there are a bunch of little kickers coming off of the bases including one long one in the back that you can peep in the last picture.

Here’s a great looking buck harvested by a youth hunter last season.

Before and after antler plaque. We refurbished the wooden plaque and added leather over the skull plate. We also stained the antlers and rebuilt a broken drop tine. This stud was harvested back in the 80’s here in Missouri. Absolute giant!

One of my favorite parts of the job. Looking at antlers while I sit at the computer and order taxidermy forms. 😁
