Old Barn Full of Memories
September 15, 2008
I’ve known the Dorsett’s now for a number of years and knew they are deadly on big bucks in the Old North State. How deadly I didn’t realize until I laid my eyes on the old barn in Orange County.
Mason, Harold, and Clay have been hunting family land in Orange County for a number of decades and it’s obvious they have killed some nice bucks over the year. All of these deer have been killed within about a mile of this old barn.
They are not sure how many bucks are represented in this photo shoot they had a number of racks that were in a couple of large boxes. I would estimate that it was about 80 bucks. Believe it or not they had even more racks at one time but they were hanging inside a skinning shack they had that got flattened a number of years ago by a hurricane and a tree.
Mason has started a company called RacPlaques making plaques for displaying your European Mount. I can attest that he has a very quality made product that really helps show off your trophy.
Anyone who tells you North Carolina doesn’t have some nice deer needs to check these photos out. After the photo shoot we returned to the house for some grilled deer tender loin…. What else would you’ve expected us to eat?
Story and Photos by Dan McLaughlin AKA Moose
Moose Droppings is a place that chronicles my journey, I’ll explore new places and ideas I’ll learn new things and I’ll teach the things I’ve learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.
This is a very nice story and an awesome photo spread. Two thumbs up Dan. I’m still trying to pick up my jaw off the floor after seeing some of those racks.
Thanks for the kind words Moose. Not sure how it gets much better than family, friends and the deer woods.
