    I have had a couple of hunts like that. Makes those all day sits seem wasteful. Congrats.

    Thanks all!
    He was definitely a nice one, not sure of the weight. I skinned him myself and didn't have acces to scales. I did not shoulder mount him, I decided to do a European mount instead

    Figured as much since you got it cleaned up so quickly. Do you seal it with anything or just leave it be?

    Nice job on the clean up. My son works for the state as a biologist and they have a tank of bugs they use to clean animals to study. They work great on deer skulls.
