Buckaroo =================

It was a second thought,
after the venison steaks were in the freezer, that I decided to attempt
to cast the buck's head and then mount the original antlers on the
casted head.
Bammm...
It was a cold gray evening in early December. I was headed south out of Kansas City on a two lane highway. There was a doe running along the left side of the roadway. I began honking the horn to warn her to stay out of the road...
the front hood flew up
I couldn't see out the front window...
I guess I wasn't the only one watching that doe and not looking where they were headed...
I pulled the car to the side of the road and found a large buck quite dead beside the road. The front of my car was mostly smashed, the radiator was hissing and pieces of the front grill littered the highway. A wildlife, park ranger filled out an accident report and helped me load the deer in back. I tied the front hood down and somehow made it home with roadkill venison to go...
Recycled glass was used for the first casting and a small fluorescent light on the inside transforms it into a rather wild and extraordinary image. Only two '7 Point Bucks' were reproduced from the original followed by my favorite...the (Unicorn) 'One Point Buck' with a semi-etheral blue patina and a silk rose in his mouth.
It was very very cold in January when I finished piecing together the front end of the old wagon. We are taking offers for this fine deer-slayer.
Make Offer...
Let this be a lesson to all... When you see a deer near the road, slow down, be careful, deer frequently travel together...
