"Barn board" mount 2016 bucks

[stubborn1VT]

I had a guy I know clean my 2016 bow buck skull with beetles.  It's my first Euro mount, and I wanted it done right, so I didn't just boil it myself.  My FIL gave me piece of barn board he had kicking around.  I was really pleased with the way it is weathered.  My buddy who just started a small taxidermy shop mounted it up, and I hot glued the arrow and brass.  

There are bigger bucks out there, but I am psyched with my 2016 results.  It's a season I won't forget any time soon!

Very, very nice, looks great! And congratulations on an awesome, successful season! Looks like the beetles did a nice clean job, on your euro. The arrow and shell casing are a nice touch too! Along with the barn board.

I did my 2015 buck as a euro mount. And used a weathered board from the old farm property homestead. It's posted on here somewhere. Am doing the 2016 buck as a euro too. Just haven't finish it yet.

Thanks folks.

Yup.  That is a genuine Easton 2117.  I never found a good enough reason to change.  They quit carrying aluminum at the bow shop I used to use, so I found another shop.  If shooting fingers and aluminum is good enough for Chuck Adams, it's good enough for me.
