Here are a few Whitetails my wife, kids and I have shot..    Next is my Spotted Fallow. I have not scored it yet, but was told that it will go gold medel SCI. 24" inside spread 26 points.  These are some Whitetails from the 2008 season...not back from taxidermist yet.     I don't have an elaborate trophy room...and mostly deer in it right now, but hope someone might enjoy the pictures. Thanks for looking, ND  Stephen Grant 500BPE Joseph Harkom 450BPE | ||

nice group of bucks. How wide is the big dude on the left side. I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same. | |||

Thanks for the nice comments guys! Thunder, That buck was just over 21" inside. He almost made a mainframe 12 point, but didn't quite get the last one up...tip is flared. The big-8, just right of center was only 3.5 years old. He weighed 250 on the hoof when my wife took him. No "high fence", but we feed them good. Phoenixdawg, If you are hunting Kansas, you will get a bruiser soon. I grew up south of Wichita. I remember some beasts up there when I was a kid...just hunted birds back then with my father.

I see a pretty major problem with your trophy room. The deer are unbalanced. You need to shoot another one and mount it on the left side... | |||

Rob H, The 3 pictures at the bottom are at the new taxidermist now...plus a big 10 point(150") at the old taxidermist from 2.5 years ago (he is a good friend?)...thus the new taxidermist. There are several on other walls and in other rooms. They are not all trophy class, but the only person I need to impress is myself. I mount most of my wife and kids deer, and several of mine that just bring back fond memories of the hunt. Hell, I just like sitting in the woods and listening to the cottonwood leaves rattle in the wind. But then again, my heart rate always speeds up when that first doe steps out on the wheat in the evening. Again, my stuff is pretty "small time" compared to most in this forum...both trophies and trophy room, but they make me smile. Thanks to all of you for the nice comments. There are some of the worlds finest men here on AR. ND  Stephen Grant 500BPE Joseph Harkom 450BPE | |||

You are quite the deer hunter. Nice animals and mounts. | |||

I was just trying to give you just cause to go shoot another one and have it mounted! Looks like you have that well covered | |||

What I really need, is to show some restraint  ...Ha-Ha! Or maybe a real trophy room...say 20'x40', instead of using my living room, bedrooms, office, friends hunting lodge, gun shops. I just never have been able to cut the horns off the 130" and up bucks. I have literally hundreds of small horns, from the early, feeding the family years and many sheds that my wife has in arrangements using plants and fake plants. She has them arranged with the tines sticking up through the leaves...looks cool! Stephen Grant 500BPE Joseph Harkom 450BPE | |||

Some really nice deer, which ones were taken with the 450 Ackley. I have not taken anything with it since you sold it to me. We had a strange deer season, all the deer disappeared during all of December. Good Hunting,  | |||

David, Good to here from you! I was wondering how you did with the new thumper? The top picture has 2 deer taken with the 450 Ackley...2nd from the right and the wide 11-point 2nd from the left. I shot numerous deer with it...most of them are in my friend's hunting lodge, and one around 180" that got away. It takes some pretty "piss-poor" shooting for a whitetail to get away after soaking up 500 grains from a 450 Ackley. He was quartering away and I didn't get ligned up with the off shoulder. Went in behind the left front shoulder and came out the front of same shoulder...never touched the vitals. He drug that leg for 3 miles and then the rains came. I searched hells worst canyon country for 14 days. Don't know if he lived or died...hope somebody found him. There's my sad story to go with the success pictures...biggest deer I ever shot, and with a huge gun, but no pictures. That's why we hunt... ND Stephen Grant 500BPE Joseph Harkom 450BPE | |||

Nice deer and a great family you have there Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Mike, Thanks for the complement. My family is the only thing I would give up all the guns and hunting for...luckily, they all hunt too!!! PAH, These are all western Oklahoma deer. Several friends have land on the south Canadian river, totaling around 8000 acres....though most of these were sot under the famous "Judgement Tree", an old cow rubbed cedar on the edge of a wheat field. It looks like a "hanging tree" from an old cowboy movie...I named it around 20 years ago. I have been blessed with good friends that let me enjoy God's greatest gift.
