I got a buck!!! Its a small 8 but its my first deer!!! It was about 25-30 yards away and ran 20-25 yards and crashed into a big tangle of thorns. Also how do you get it cleaned up to mount it?

Congratulations of your first deer! That is fantastic. I would strongly suggest a European mount. Less than $100 and it won't look like "pooh" in 10 years like many mounts do. Save the shoulder mount for that once in a lifetime buck.

Thank you. Those are all "scrub bucks" and Mr. Mark Melby does GREAT work and VERY reasonable. I will never get another shoulder mount ever again, only Mark's European mounts.
