This year I am proud to say that I harvested my first buck with a bow. To make things better, it was on my Grandfather's land. He was a good, healthy 7 point. Walked in 10 minutes after shooting time began, and hit the ground 50 yards away. I used the Magnus buzzcut broadhead for the first time, and couldn't be happier. It was a great blood trail.
I wanted to do a euro mount, and I had all the equipment so I made the decision to attempt at it for the first time myself. Simmered the head all day, then boiled it in a peroxide solution to make it white. I could not have been happier with the results. To hang it I decided to use a broken cedar branch from the ranch where I killed him. Pressure washed the bark off, sanded it, stained, and sealed it all up. The way it is set up, it will be able to hold two euros. The placement twists with the natural curve of the knot in the wood, so no matter where in the room you are it looks good.
Let me know how you guys think I did. If any need for improvement, I welcome the knowledge.
