WV thrift store find

[Treeratslayer]

I’m sure in the west, this is a common occurrence. But it’s not very often I walk into a thrift store in my home state of WV and find a beast like this. I used a rope I borrowed from a sled and a pegboard on the wall as a ruler(one inch spacing usually). So I’m quite sure I under scored this deer. My wife got a kick out of me in the floor doing this while she shopped.

How much did you pay for it? LOL

That’s a nice buck. Sure would be cool to know the story.
I picked up a really nice Dall sheep head for $80 a few years ago. Might be the only sheep I ever own

 

[NRA4LIFE]

I was wondering too if you bought it.

 

[Treeratslayer]

I left it there and it’ll be there for years to come. $275. I’ll put that toward a tag next year and dream of finding one of my own

I’d pick a sheep up in a heartbeat. I like to imagine some old timer shot it skull capped it before anyone even had a chance to stop him. I can hear him saying “you can’t eat them horns anyway” while his son pouted the 1500 miles home haha

$275? American dollars?

WTF, I got a couple dozen bigger than that hanging in the rafters in the barn. I’ll make you a deal.

Damn you got a couple dozen 180 inch deer hanging in the rafters. That’s crazy most people get one or two in a life time.

Yeah I couldn’t believe the price. For just a skull cap too. Crazy. Some rich idiot will pay it though. Look good in some doctors dining room I’m sure.

Buddy found 240” non typical shoulder mount on salida at the thrift store, paid 375$ for it, antler buyer from the west slope paid 3.5k for it a week later…

We don’t even let them in the house if they’re sub-185.

These made the cut.

Me too. When we go to the barn I’ll show you how I paved the sidewalk out there with my elk ivories.

Don’t know about the top or bottom but that middle buck is pushing 200, those forks are insanely deep

Shit, is that all? I’m using my excess for erosion control on my pond.

Nice buck but even better decision to leave and apply funds to tag
