This is my brother Ken. This past fall he shot a record mule deer. Of course I didn't hear about it until about a month ago. He sent me a few pictures and tried to explain the scoring of deer which is difficult at best. Apparently the world record score is 217. Ken's scored 193 -- enough to earn him a place in one or two record books. I thought this was worthy of recording in our family scrapbook . Being that it is a page about hunting, I thought it best to not be too busy. We had just gotten the new lines of Basic Grey so I used one that would help camouflage his orange hunting outfit. The journalling pull-out was so that I could keep it to a one-page layout and I thought the antlers would be a great way to pull it out. I used the leafless tree diecut at the store for the antlers and cut them out of grungeboard. The guys that come into the store appreciate it.

I'm personally not a big fan of hunting, but I like the little antlers you placed on top of each page!
What a great page Sharon.As a hunter let me assure you this is a scrap worthy event. That is a beautiful deer. Is your brother having the head mounted?
Sheryl,
Apparently having the entire head mounted is very expensive. So, he is having the antlers done instead.

What a great page Sharon and a great deer, definitely worth recording! Can't wait to show this to my husband. He only hunts with a camera and binoculars now, but he will definitely appreciate this!
Awesome deer! Awesome page. I noticed this one right away when I came into the store!
