DIAMOND D

Definitely gets the blood flowing.

It totaled $1,200. I believe the math was 5.5 foot at $100/foot for the rug totaling $1,100 (and I opted for additional $100 adding in beetled skull which I haven't gotten back yet).

.. but remember Ted Bundy slept well too knowing how he conducted himself ... did that make his conduct okay?.. just something to think about. Yes, Bundy and his dead bodies, and me and my food plot. Patterned us out have you!?! In all seriousness the current and common school of thought on the serial killer profile is that they are tortured souls with internal conflicts unimaginable, and they know what they are doing is wrong, many times actually wanting to get caught... just food for thought.

Thanks. Went to a very popular taxidermist in Middletown (not sure if advertisement is allowed in this section, if it is I'll go further into it). I was very pleased with the whole deal.

Your absolutely correct. Very well said BTW. I shoot bow only (compound) and over food plots, I shoot bucks does, and I've even tagged a button buck (with a leg injury ), I live by my own ethics being stricter than the legal guidelines, and I sleep VERY well at night knowing how I conduct myself...

ditto Clifford. Same deal here, when bow hunting doe's are what I put down with consistency. Bucks are another matter....

Call him lefty, cause he is missing his right ear.....

Couldn't be happier with it.

Lets not thrust our personal beliefs on others here. I only hunt bow, year round. That is in part due to my area I hunt and how I like to hunt. BUT that doesn't mean I dislike others who choose a gun or muzzle loader when legal (or take subtle digs by saying I guess they're conscience doesn't bother them). It is what it is. I don't hunt traditional archery, but if I did and disagreed with anyone who doesn't, I may need to look for a trad. only forum.... I know that is not what we're discussing, but try and see the parallels here. If there are legal means outside how you do things and you can't accept them, then it's your problem.

Good luck man. I'm jealous.

Yeah it is a monster. Saw it in the back of his pick-up and it filled the bed up nicely. He did the mount over at the place in Oakdale on Sunrise Hwy I think, said he was going to build a small extension or enclose and area of the room to make a "cave" to set the mount into. Sounded like pretty sweet of an idea.

Do you mean recently like from a car accident? Or a while back during season? I know that a guy shot a MONSTER bear in Sullivan Co. not this past but November 2009. New state record I believe, they had the mount up at the NY Big Buck Club dinner.
