well, I guess I'll follow the trend here. here's a few of my huntin' partner & me...

we took this with a tripod, (see why it's a good idea to drag that thing along) after a January hike at the Farm...

2005 Gun Hunt, this is a buck she shot first, dropped it, it laid there for about five minutes, then got up like it wasn't even hit and came over by me, I made sure he didn't go any farther...

What's better after a Cold November Rut Bowhunt than meetin' up with your huntin' partner for a couple of Cold Blue Moons and a Warm Kiss?

guess who's tag went on that buck?

that's right mine did, when the buck got up she couldn't shoot again because she forgot her extra slugs in the truck, I told her if you want that buck you shoulda put him down, and besides she always kills bigger deer than me and I have to take what I can get, even if she has to wound 'em and send 'em my way...

heck no I didn't mount it, had my wife with me... oh, :D no I didn't have it mounted, luckily it's rack was a little uneven, just not into the big taxidermy bills anymore, we have three hangin' in our living room and the rest are hangin' in our basement for no one to see. oh well, maybe one day I'll get that basement finished and have a place to bring people in to show them all the crap I got stuffed, 10 fish, 2 hogz, 1 coyote, 1 turkey, several turkey fans and about 7 more deer, oh and somewhere I have a squirrel mounted, little fox squirrel.

B doesn't wanna get any more fish stuffed unless they are bigger, thank goodness....

a good taxidermist charges $400 - $500 for a deer shoulder mount, and usually takes up to a year to get back, I did try to mount a few myself years ago, I did a button buck I killed on Christmas Eve evening '89, a doe I killed on Thanksgiving '90 & a doe I killed on October 1st '92. it was a lot of work, I had much more time on my hands back then, not that kinda party anymore.
