    great stuff....if I can offer one gem of wisdom???? your mate is a machine of a pack horse......look up and learn about the Alex Gale carry strap method of carting out an animal....a 8 foot length of seat belt works a treat and makes the carry out in open country MUCH easier of old backs.

    After pricing up buying a shield @ $100 un sanded or stained I decided to make my own, cut out a template and then jigsawed it out of untreated ply, quick sand and a couple coats of trueoil

    All up this euro mount cost me $0.00 as I had all the materials but realistically it would cost less than $50 if you had to buy everything, I would normally seal it with a mix of pva and water but I'm not entirely happy with the bleaching, will leave it a week or 2 and see if it needs another dose.
    It's no record breaker but it's my first buck so I'll always display him.
