Sure wish I could find someone that fast with good quality that doesn't cost a fortune. Pushing $900 for a deer up here!
Nice Bucks!
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Nice mounts guys. TJ that early season coat sure makes for a nice looking mount! I did a euro mount on my buck this year. I'm about to run out of wall space!!

Haha Biggie, the way I look at it, when you're as old as we are getting anything young is considered a trophy.

Yeah Allan, I love the early season coats as well. This is my second one and they show up every little detail in the form. Everyone that sees them comments on that. Oh yeah and lets see your Euro mount.

Gun Wow you are making me feel better about the prices around here. As everything they have been raising the last few years. This guy is very good and pretty fast (4 months) and now is at $425. Which I think is outrageous. To freeze dry the velvet did cost another $125 on this one but I've wanted one for about 12 years since they backed up our bow season where you can kill one with velvet still on.

I think the correct term is "Spiritwalker" There are LOTS of them on here!

Hah!  Don't feel bad crandog, Idaho is a tough whitetail place!

Hogdancer, I bet your taxidermist loves you!

Wow joebuck that's the best treebuzzard mount I've ever seen. Detail in the head is incredible. I'm sure that was cheap.

That is an unusual turkey mount for sure. I kinda figgered Joey would be mounting his own by now.

Thomas...the invitation is still open!

Thanks Jeff, Biggie has no respect for feathers except when they are battered. Find me an old barn door there to hang'em on.
