Doing some checking around, some of the mounts cost more than the hunt  :dunno:

Worst case I'll euro the skull. I'd really like a nice half mount, it's just way out of the budget unfortunately.

Hoping I can talk my wife into at least a shoulder mount!

Good morning from Ohio. I am in the process starting a new bow,last one 5 years ago. I have 4 100 watt bulbs in my hot box and have one that is burned out. I found that the old style bulbs are no longer made. Can I use heat lamp bulbs? Thank you in advance

Look the taxidermy over good on who evers going to do it  bears must be hard to do I have 3 rugs a half mount and a bunch of tanned hides and Im not satisfied with any of them . I would look for a taxidermist in bear country you might look one up in Winipeg on you way home they usually they do a better job when bear as their main animal to mount .

Quote from: johnnyk71 on February 03, 2026, 11:13:20 AMdoes anyone know how many strands of FF Gregg typically uses in his strings? just playing around with 3 Rivers spine calculator. @Maclean ?


Gregg supplies his bows with a string made from 12 strands of D97, plus 2 of B55. I'm not sure if the B55 is throughout the entire string,  or just padding the loops.

thanks!!!

I've never done it myself but going for Moose this fall and was once a combo hunt for caribou too.  Keep in mind a lot of places are quota hunts now so you might have to go early to not miss out, you may not have a choice of velvet or hard horned if you want in on the action.  I know where we we are going the quota was filled by early Sept the last few years...

If you have room for a 1/2 mount I'd do that, they look nice. I did taxidermy for over 40 yrs so I have 2 lifesize one black and one cinnamon, a rug and 2 shoulder mounts in my house. You might ask yourself how many bears are you going to shoot and then decide.

Quote from: Coach Jones on February 01, 2026, 08:57:16 PMCurrently shooting 700 Dark Timbers cut 30 inches with 250 up front from my 38@28 Kanati longbow.  I draw 27.5 inches and shooting a B55 string.  I really wanted to pick up some 1916 Autumn Orange shafts to fletch up.  Do you think if I leave the 1916's at 30 inches that they will shoot out of my bow or do I need an 1816 shaft?  Really wanted orange.
Why the B55 string? That bow should be FF compatible, and using FF string will make a significant difference in arrow spine.  :dunno:  :dunno:

Because it shoots so much more quiet with a B55 from TTT than it does with my SBD string.  I also have a Ten Ring string for it.   It's a hunting bow, so the most important thing is to have it shooting as quiet as possible.  3-4 fps gains me nothing.  However, I have thought about having Trevor make me a D97 to try but on all my bows, B55 is almost always the most quiet string.
