This deer and one other hung in my aunt and uncle’s house my entire childhood, the first 2 bucks taken on their property in Texas sometime in the 50’s best as anyone can recall. I remember looking at them and dreaming of the days I could go get my own. Fast forward 30 years, aunt and uncle have since passed and the house was abandoned. I was able to retrieve the mounts, and harvested a buck on the same ranch in 2024 from which I was able to utilize the cape to remount this buck. Brought back to life after 70ish years. Pic of the original mount is included. One more (skull cap and antlers on the mantle) to go!
