not much primitive about this one, except my desire
stickbender:
I can relate to the cost of a shoulder mount! :o I like the european mount too. My Buddy in Montana has several nice mounts like that, including a couple of Elk. Again Congrats on a nice buck.

good job no matter what the choice of tools you use, very nice buck. the price on taxidermy is gotten high, i just took my second buck in yesterday, 385 a head, but great bucks.
Christophero:
Congratulations!
I don't care if some one is or is not able to draw a bow or shoot a crossbow, as long as they are all hunters, pay their license fees, hunt ethically and enjoy themselves. Sir, it looks like you truely enjoyed your self and for that I am glad. He's a beauty.
I've take many game over the years with a broken handmedown crossbow, which I fixed a long time ago and got started deer hunting with. Oh, and other than mentally I am not handicapped. My state allows it and I followed those rules. The last four seasons I've only hunted with primative or traditional bows during the archery season, because I wanted to, and I've, yet, to bring home a deer for all the effort. But those are the limitations I've placed on myself, because I wanted to. If my wife, son or daughter decides they want to go to the woods with me with the crossbow I would more than welcome them along. Not everyone has or takes the time to practice with a bare bow to be proficient. I wonder if I am proficient. But, we need hunters in the woods to keep this game alive.

Thanks for all of the kind replies. Today is the last day of archery only season in this part of N.C., so I celebrated by adding a doe to the pile. It walked behind some thick cover and I thought it had gone. I was watching a second doe on the other side of the ridge heading toward me. That one did turn on a trail into the thicket and the original doe stepped into the clearing less than 20 yards and was acting nervous. I took an 18 yard shot and the deer only went 38 yards before piling up.

Welll said Christopher, and another congrats to you Jim. Looks like the chicken is going to have come out of the freezer! ;D
