Hey grk40x40, Congratulations to your son on his kill. I'm mentally picturing him at school telling his friends right now. Taking a young person afield is the very best thing anyone can do for hunting.

Oh yes, since you didn't mention any broken bones, congratulations to you for not jumping out of the tree stand.

On my kids first deer, I did the skull plate and horns on a plaque thing and had a brass engraved with the date etc. I also drilled a hole just the size of the cartridge head and shined the cartridge head up real nice and epoxied that in the hole.
