I was very close to Hamilton Gun Club when I got him.
Nice! That place is special to me. Grew up hunting there with my father for years. Took my first buck there as well.
You probably remember some of the old timers like Harry Peele and Hilton Everette. I started hunting there with my grandfather about 35 years ago as a youngster and remember seeing some huge deer back then too.
Yea my Dad and Hilton were best buds back years ago in back in high shcool. My father grew up right there on Farm outside of hamilton and then moved into town and lived that big blue house beside water tank. Im a Purvis...We may have hunted there same time then no telling....I remember everyone being dropped off everywhere after breakfast and picking places like "the sandpile" or the "Liscense Plate" or maybe "the tater basket"..ha I cant remember his last name but there was a older guy there named Bill. Drove an old Blue Chevy 4x4. He had a box full of yard dogs and he would walk through woods hooping and hollering, His dogs would run deer about 150 yards or so and come back to him...But man the deer were runnign everywhere! I shot a 18" seven pointer at about 15 feet with a 12g prob about 1987 I was about 15 years old so i think i did the math right..
anyway good times there!
That was probably Bill Davis. My favorite stand was the second lightpole down from the clubhouse. Hilton's youngest son David and I are good friends but neither one of us dog hunt in there anymore.
TOAD!
mount pics. Lifelike Taxidermy mounted him and did an outstanding job
Just got him back from the taxidermist
Wow ... looks great! Do you mind if I ask roughly what it costs to have a buck mounted like that?
I got him done for $350. Prices ranged from $275 to $450 from the checking around I did. This guy normally charges more but said he had never mounted a local kill that big so he cut me some slack to let him do it.

Good deal. Thanks. I have never had one mounted but have a;ways wondered what it would cost if I did get a trophy.
Nice!!!!!
