Deer pulling arrow mount

[HOLY DIVER]

 

I got this done 17years ago and have not seen another like it the guy cut me a deal because he wanted to try something different so for $150 I got a deer pulling an arrow.  Nothing to do with how it was shot and the original arrow was a aluminum super slam.   Maybe it's not that unusual but thought I'd share anyways

Probably take a lot of flak for my opinion but it actually makes me sad to look at an injured animal in agony trying to pull a misplaced arrow out with his mouth.  I know you didn't make the shot but I wouldn't want it in my house. JMO

No flak here i don't disagree I was 18yo and poor so the price was right it was my biggest archery harvest at the time not my favorite mount either but its unique and I cant get rid of it ..it still means a lot to me. I'm as passionate as any hunter wildlife manager on here but I don't get that feeling when I see it. 

 

 I try not to offend anyone especially in my home,  Iv  made the decision to pull the arrow and now he's a happy back licker.

 

Thanks for the feed back

I like the story and appreciate wanting to take advantage of a deal but much better with the arrow removed. I have a house full of taxidermy but wouldn't want to memorialize a bad shot and an animal suffering.

Yea and now i dont have to explain to every person that's sees it why it has an arrow stuck in its back. Problem solved! 

 

But ill never get rid of this one

 

 

A joke of course..I had to look it up after you called me out , this picture made me see the absurdity in my own..😆

I think your opinion is in the majority
