His living room walls were adorned with the shoulder and European mounts of deer that were at least as good as any deer I’ve ever bagged. I was certainly in the right place. Mark wanted to tell me about his 2009 season. Why 2009? As Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease has taken its toll in the past ten years, 2009 may be the last year we had trophy deer in numbers.
