take it home, hang it and take a rope, make a circle on the floor under the deer and spray it with permethrin....the ticks will drop off and never leave that circle.
I may be wrong, but to have a finished mount scored and be entered into one of those books, it would have to be x-rayed to make sure the skull plate hasn't been altered.....doesn't sound like you have any intention of entering it into a book, but something that may be of importance to some......I'll say 130 give or take a few.
if it had potential, and I could get it for the full season, including turkey, I would pay the $700.00......that's a lot cheaper then buying land that could turn out to be terrible hunting, at least you can walk away when the lease is over.......
oh, I bow hunt...the doe I described was taken with the bow. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable when it comes to deer hunting, and I do enjoy the show, but like I said, I was never really consumed with antlers.....
