View Full Version : Road Kill Buck
tnts79 01-17-2008, 09:04 AM My buddy's mom hit this guy last night about a mile from his house.:doh: :doh: We told her when she left to watch for deer, about 2 minutes later we get the call that she hit something with horns. Sure enough, it's the buck that has been popping up on our trailcams all over the place this past season. He would have been a real nice buck to shoot next year. My buddy really wanted him this year and I was trying to convince him to let him go one more season, thats a mute point now! What do you all do with nice roadkill bucks, skull mounts, cap mounts, or full shoulder mounts??? Keep in mind our local taxi does full shoulders for $185:p and he does excellent work. We have had 3 done by Earl and they all look great. What do you guys and gals think?
That's a nice buck.:thumb:
I wouldn't do a shoulder mount on a roadkill buck, personally. maybe a Euro?

tnts79 01-17-2008, 10:38 AM I guess im the only one that thinks a shoulder mount with the busted up FORD emblem sitting between the brows would look good..?
lungcutter 01-17-2008, 10:45 AM A road kill buck around here gets cooked and served:lol:

tnts79 01-17-2008, 01:48 PM It's not my decision! If it was he would be hanging on the wall.
Hook Em 01-17-2008, 02:40 PM euro...no shoulder mounts on road kill!
dodgensince74 01-17-2008, 06:41 PM do a skull mount and give it to your buddies mom
kbohunt 01-17-2008, 08:02 PM Grillem.:biggrin1:
Maybe euro.
gadgetguy1288 01-18-2008, 01:06 AM well, since the truck in the background is a chevy id do a euro and but the chevy bowtie emblem on the top of the skull :D
UPSTATE 01-18-2008, 03:08 AM Make something out of the antlers like a lamp,or picture frame. You could sell the mount to a restaurant or bar or someone who wants to dress up their camp but doesn't hunt or maybe sell on Ebay.
pred8er 01-18-2008, 11:54 AM One more vote for the Euro. Then put the ford emblem on the mount plaque.:D
IChim2 01-18-2008, 01:15 PM I'd do a shoulder mount and engrave "road kill" on the little brass plate...still a nice buck and would look great in anyone's home.
Definite Euro, wouldn't do a shoulder mount on a roadkill
archery freak 01-18-2008, 02:03 PM a new set of rattling horns.
Scrotang 01-21-2008, 01:05 AM the mount at my parents house is a roadkill buck. A big old 8-point. he was just too pretty not to mount, but that was way before I was born.
nebling 01-22-2008, 11:05 AM He's a dandy, but would have definitely been a bruiser next year! Sorry about your buddy's mom's car!
wp_bowmaster 01-22-2008, 11:27 AM I would go with a shoulder mount!!!:peace:
tnts79 01-22-2008, 01:30 PM It scored 133" & 3/8", he is leaning towards a shoulder mount. I'll be sure to post some pics on here in about 6 months when he gets him back.
