I do not think the fish sticking out of her mouth killed her...its the one sticking out of her gills that got her.

My Dad actually found on of the Bucks alive with the other just being drug around. Got the go ahead from the Game Warden for a mercy killing. (It was on a outfitted ranch) Here Is The Link Check It Out!!! I think its cool that its getting mounted and thanks for sharing the pictures. Korey Ferguson

That's a Pec fin....looks like a fish tail though.

Just My opinion. If he was going to tell a story about how he reeled in the bass and the crappie was dangling out of it's mouth I'd agree with you, but he obviously just wants to memorialize a once in a lifetime freak occurance he found on the water. If someone found a two-headed buck killed on the side of the road it might wind up at the taxidery shop too. They are both very interesting, curiosity pieces so lighten up Francis. I have a good friend who owns a game ranch and he found 2 deer with their antelers locked that had both fought to their deaths. He has a mount of it in his office, one of the coolest things I have ever seen, oh and he did not kill them. So, if you for some reason don't like preserving wildlife phenomenons, that is your business. No reason to be a _ _ _ _ _ _ _.. I thought I was the only one that liked crappie patteerned cranks! lol
