Congrats again Freddy!! Been thinking about it all day.
Like a lot of the other board members, you have been a huge influence and a great mentor for me - both in hunting and in friendship. I can't thank YOU enough! 
I am truly honored to have been a part of your hunt.
Here's to many more adventures yet to come!

Great job guys! By the way, did you weigh either of those brutes? They look like hogs to me...

Incredible!! And it couldn't happen to better guys.
I read the old post in the link there . . . it's cool to see generosity come back around . . . It's more rare than we often realize to have such great friendships and such excellent opportunities to cultivate them like this. Y'all are blessed indeed!!
Congratulations!!
Freddy, fwiw I was thinking the same thing as TK on the mount. A sneak would bring the rack down lower & closer to show off the mass and give you a different perspective on it.

Thanks guys...
As for the mount... I'm leaning towards a pedestal mount. One, I can hang it closer to the floor as it won't stick out as far and at that level you can see the mass. I have 2 already mounted in a sneak and that would be pretty good as well.
I'm still trying to decide...

Nice buck Freddy!
Here is a buck that my brother killed several years ago, the mount is called "Licking the Wound". This would look great on a pedestal IMO.
