i also dabble with doing european mounts i killed both of these bucks with my bow last year
here is an 8 point i took at 17 yards he went about 30 yards and crashed in sight.
this is what i start with before boiling and bleaching
and here is a 7 point i tried at 28 yards and he jumped the string on me and i made a poor shot after checkin my bow cam i waited him out over night and found him the next morning about 250 yards from my stand
this is what the finished product looks like after i finish the boiling but before the bleaching. the bleaching really makes them whiten up nicely
