thunderbolt Report post Posted October 11, 2006 Well i got a little information from my cousin. He had asked his dad about the deer. I had the dates all wrong. the deer was killed in 1965 and back then in only cost him 60 dollars to have the deer mounted. While they were hunting my uncle had to go to the bathroom so he walked off aways from the group of brothers to go behind a bush. While he was doing his business the brother yelled theres a buck up the mountain. My uncle then stood up with his pants down and shot the buck. One shot is all it took and my uncle went back to finish his business. great story huh! back then all my uncles (brothers) went hunting together. Now they are getting up in age and don't really hunt. My uncle had the deer mounted in tucson while he lived there. he then moved to new mexico and left the deer at the taxidermist. 5 years later he moved back to tucson. After being in tucson a couple of months he remembered the deer and went to the taxidermist to see if he still had it. Well needless to say he still had it. Nowadays it lives in a garage. the picture really doesn't do it justice. we counted 21 points on the buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
