Some of those bucks are from the 80's, 90's but even a lot of those smaller racks are 3 and 4 year old's. I also have a 10,12 skulls hanging in my shop from the 80's. Most are 1 and 2 year old's.
Not to say I didn't kill some 1 and 2 year olds growing up. I did a lot.
There's a couple of those gun and bow kills should have been mounted. For so reason or another I did'nt do it.
I also have 11 gun kill mounts in storage. All 4,5,6 year olds.
PEARL DRUMS:
Your 3 and 5 year olds vary greatly from ours. Ours would allow 2-3 sets to fit in that container. We don't grow spindly 3 and 4 year olds. They are going to be 18-24" inside and score no less than 130" 98% of the time, and weigh no less than 180# dressed. Must be some rotten feed sourcing down there for 3 and 4 year olds to look like 18 month olds we grow in the frozen north.
I had boxes like you, but I gave them away years ago as I seen no need to stack them up and not use them. Some made a chandelier and others wrapped all around a boxed in pillar on a homemade bar. Looked pretty cool.

Jimminy Christmas! Yall must have some big deer out there Pearl! Where do you live again?

A 130" here is NICE we have a few 150's but there few and far between. I've see 5
150's in my life here in EASTERN PANDLE OF WV.
Add 10 to that 5 I seen hunting in other states.
I have a 131" SHOT GUN a 133" rifle and a 138" ML. A 3 1/2 here use'lly 14,17 inside in the score teens to 120's.
Unfortintelly I live in WV. If I liven in the mid west and I have no desire to vist much less live in the frozzen north. My hats off to you.
I FORCED TO HUNT WHAT I HAVE. And totally enjoy self bow hunting farm land bucks.
IT IS WHAT IT IS.

I made my ghillie in 82. Out of old dip net, coat (inch mess) with a hood and below the knees. REASON weight. My cousins bought the ones made of burlap and heavy when wet.
Mine weight 2 1/2,3 pounds. RAPS UP IN A CAMO 1/2 PANTS LEG. Fits right on my pack. I never go hunting with out it. Except rifle then he dead at 500 or under
I got 4 kinds of netting camo cut in strips. Added jute and I have to add to every year or so. I bow shot 40 bucks unteen doe's 39 gobblers with a shot gun. 15 gobblers with a selfbow. Dozzen plus to friends and kids. Another 32 gobblers to guiding hunters. I've used that ghillie way to many times to say.
I don't have a problem shooting with a ghillie mosty 95% setting on a milk create.
