We just finished this buck. He’s actually headed to a museum at a college in Odessa along with a Mouflon and badger. These three animals mentioned were all taken on my ranch and I loved this little fallow buck. I called him handlebars. He was a great deer.

Really great job.
 
Fantastic Erik!
 
Beautiful, thanks for sharing, and from your own ranch. Great
 
Nicely done. Handlebars is a great fit for his name
He got that nickname when he was about a two year old. He was 5 when he was taken. Even as a little guy with no palmation he had those long kickers that came off the back. We chose to let him be removed at 5 because he just really never palmated the way we’d like to see. He sure did grow a set of handlebars though. He was a very nice deer though and a wonderful trophy.

Early season he actually looked a lot better and had much better antlers. He liked to fight and was pretty dominant. You can really notice how much he broke off and broomed down around the top and backs of his palms. Seemed like every time I saw him he was either fighting another deer or raking the crap out of Mesquite and Cedar trees.
 
Beautiful work! What a great way to honor those animals!
