short caliber not small
shot this buck this afternoon with my 300 aac blackout ar-15 10.5" pistol , 110 barnes at 2285 fps. shot @200 yards.
he was so big I had to hook him to the trailer hitch on my truck and drag him behind the truck .5 miles to the ranch house to get help loading him. the question is mount or not. for perspective I go 285#

no damage to the hair, all that touched the ground was one side of his rump. it was grass all the way to the farm house.

Bob that's a dandy buck for a WT in most areas.
Knowing how high your walls are and the things you and wife enjoy. I'd say mount him. Sure wish I had the high open ceiling and walls you do. All I have open is an 8' wide space over this thing. Filled up with a buck, goat horns, two pigs, and a plaque deer rack. Dad's moose, 'bou and elk rack, are on the shop wall. Bear on a sheet of plywood out there. That's one hang up on 8' ceilings and 30' window wall. What's that black handled stick behind you? Playing crip?? You're lookin good old man!

Nice Buck
Foxhunter,
For me, that one would go one the wall, that being said, I'm in Pa and not Missouri, that would explain why I don't have anything that big on any of my walls Congratulations, that is a nice buck. Stan PS. what is the width on that rack and does the weight probably go over 200lbs easily? |

I'm with Stan. In PA, that's a wall hanger, at least a skull mount. Weight, I'd say it goes closer to 200.

Did the bullet remain in deer or did it pass through the deer? |

bullet stayed in the deer and just about cut the liver in half. shot a doe the other day with it at the same range and double lunged her, bullet exited.
shot another buck with it last year and it broke both shoulders at 125 yds. love the no recoil, feels like an air rifle, just don't forget ear protection.
