Taxidermist called

And I got to pick up all our deer from last season. Good grief I can’t afford this any more. I told the boys a few years ago when we all killed real nice bucks that they shouldn’t expect that to happen often. Well, I guess it depends on how often you consider often. This is too often for my checkbook. Lol.

My bow kill is first, followed by my middle son John’s youth season kill, and then my oldest son, Luke, killed his the week before Christmas.

Beautiful deer.

Those r good deer - great lookin mounts

Good night Matt! All those deer are Alabama trophys brother. I'm proud yall had a fantastic season!

All great deer and mounts. I like the mass on that top one. What a hoss.

Thanks all.

Yeah his mass is pretty impressive. One of few deer I’ve walked up on and had way underestimated his size.

All awesome deer. Great work!!!

Three fine Bama bucks.
Congratulations to y’all

Great bucks, awesome season! Congratulations

Beautiful Bucks!

Look great! A few years ago the Wife says why aren't you mounting any deer anymore? Why ya doing all these skull mounts? I says well it's getting expensive, not too mention running out of room, and she looked at me kinda disappointed and i says well do YOU wanna pay for it? That ended that conversation 😄 But seriously I'm thankful to be married to a woman who wants more dead animals in the house lol, i know some poor fellers (some on here) can't get past the Garage with theirs 😂

nice ,


im done having any mounted , too old and they just gonna be throwed away when im gone . matter of fact might just kill does from here on out . ive killed my share .

The memories are worth more than the money. Nobody can take that from you

Well worth the $ IMO!! Great deer! Congrats to all of you!

Nice bucks and the taxidermy looks great.

Good looking bucks, taxidermist did a great job on all of them.....

Nice

Congrats to ya’ll, the mounts look great!

Beautiful mounts some fine deer Mr Legend!

Congrats! Those looks great!

The first one is awesome with the dark horns and carrying the mass all the way out. Very nice group of mounts.

Chip off the old block

Yup

Beautiful buck!

Great looking mounts! Ron do those?

He did.

That's a great season!

That's 3 great bucks, I bet you still have a freezer full of meat, congrats

Nice Deer. Congratulations

Beautiful mounts!!! You didn’t mount the Greene County buck?? 😳

I euro mounted the Greene co deer. I don’t shoulder mount much any more. It’ll take a giant to do another one. I’m ashamed at what I’ve spent on taxidermy over the years lol. This one is my second best AL bow kill and he’s very unique. I almost euro mounted him too.

Understood!! I just hope I can get to that point one day 🤣

Great bucks Matt! Congrats on some great ones. Mounts ain’t cheap, but they are great reminders of great times.

Good looking deer! Mounts look good also!

Nice. Really nice looking bucks and the mounts look great.

All good deer. Congrats!

That's where I am sitting right now, I use to mount any and everything when I first started killing good bucks, I think I stopped at 5 or 6, now it will have to be something bigger than anything I have on the wall already....came close to mounting a wide 8 pt this season, just didn't have a lot of mass annnndddddd......when I shot him, I hit him in the throat and would have to find another cape, so I just wen with the euro.....

I think I’m at 27 shoulder mounts and I don’t even know about euros lol. Then the kids have each mounted two bucks over the years. And they’ve started out killing way bigger deer than I did as a kid!

Congratulations on a great season. Mounts look great!

Gonna take something special for me to mount another one for what it costs nowadays. Ive posted a pic here before but I made a Euro Tree. I boil out all of mine and find another limb to hang it on.

Life is short! Can’t take money with you but a quality mount is something that will bring back memories from that day! The excitement, the adrenaline rush, even how the weather felt that day! They print more money every day. They don’t print memories! Nice deer, congrats!

Who was the taxidermist? I didn't see it posted but could have missed it.

What's the going rate these days? My last shoulder mount in 2018 was $600. Stones in Leeds did it.

Ron Bettendorf at Sorghum Hollow in Lamar county. He’s mounted all my stuff since 2007. He’s been under $600 until the last few years. He’s at $650 now I think. I didn’t even ask. I just paid up. Reason I don’t know is because I just keep a running invoice there. I’m never fully paid up. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

Congrats on some great bucks.

It’s hard for me not to mount good deer/critters that we kill but I’ve gone to mostly skull mounts unless it’s something REAL special. The room and cost have become an issue.
