【猎鹿】六周潜伏 一箭封喉 ［包括刚做好的标本］

好收获，恭喜。

很多老猎人到一定境界后，他们enjoy的不再是捕杀猎物，而是帮助新手、带徒弟。之所谓猎的最高境界是"不猎"吧。

中德州的公共猎场里我知道曾经出过200磅的大公鹿，是少之又少啊。不过，成年（3.5岁以上）健康雄鹿，我们这边上150磅还是常见，只是这种鹿比较难打到。我一朋友今年打打到头公鹿147磅。据他说，他北方的哥们儿打到最大的公鹿有近300磅，差距啊。

150磅，dressed 后还是前的重量？

鹿体重估算

确认了，我朋友那头148磅，是dress前的重量。

那就亮亮。

这个也是你自己做的？

请人做的。做这个工序太繁琐，用时太多，而且做好了不容易。

标本做好了属于艺术范畴。我的照片可能不能清晰表达，我这个标本的脸部肌肉线条都做出来了，神态也都经过仔细雕琢。我比较过这个和cabelas里挂着的那些trophy，做工超出大多数。这个标本师在我们本地比较hot，一般6-7个月才能交货，而且价格也不低，做这么一个shoulder mount要600多。

这个工期不算夸张，我用的另一个做水禽不错的师傅，一只鸭子的工期要9个月到1年。

我又仔细对比了下楼主这头公鹿标本前后的照片。恕我直言，我觉得标本没有将这公鹿的威严表现充分。标本的表情像是一头没经验的小鹿，而在ATV上的那鹿确是“不怒自威”。

哈哈哈，我怎么看到鹿藐视我的眼神。

哈哈。这就是成年公鹿的眼神。

也可能我这mount挂的较高，拍照角度的问题。

会不会是角度问题呢？我回去弄张清晰度放上来探讨哈

有可能。

这鹿多大？

I don't know how to figure that out, my teacher didn't bother to teach me ....

You may ask the taxidermist when you handed it over. Now, it is no way to check.

The teeth on jaw will show how old a deer is. From the body, color and face, I can tell it is a yearling, matural, or so. But, I am not quite good on checking teeth, still learnning.

From the face of your deer, I would guess it may be a 2.5 years old, not more than 3.5 at least. But, it may not be accurate.

how old was your buck?

I forgot to ask Taxidermist to check it. When I picked it up, I asked him. He guessed that it would be 3.5. I would guess 3.5-4.5.

This deer is taken from a public land. Its body size is big in central Texas. I didn't weight it, but I felt that it would be over 150+lb without dressing. It is a "big" deer here, esp. in public land. And its face showed more mature when it is alive. Its back did not show the sign of drop. So, it could not be over 4.5. It was during the late season, one of its broad tines had been broken during a fight with others I guess. It was following a other fat does when I shot it.
