Gene and I just got two of our November bucks back from the taxidermist today. I don't have any photos but they came out great. Tony Grillo, Seymour, IN did an outstanding job. Absolutely excellent. I'll see if we can get a couple pix posted. Taxidermy quality has improved big-time in recent years. Nice work guys. bw

mike dowell of buck wild taxidermy did that mount, he does awesome work, that mount won him a couple of first place ribbons at a show he went to, he has done 5-6 mounts for my family and they have all turned out very good. this was my first pedestal mount and it's sweet.

this is the 2nd boar mount i've ever done. it was for a good mate i was hunting with last year. i'd show mine, which was the 1st boar i mounted, but it didn't turn as good as i'd hoped. lessons learnt were applied to this one.

Here is a couple of pics of my 2008 velvet 8pt. I have never seen a buck in full velvet in archery season before and when he walked out I knew he was going to get an arrow slung at him. I shot him on opening day (9/27/08) in McMullen County, Tx with my Sarrels recurve: 48#@29" using a Vapor 2000 arrow and GK 150gr BH.

Thanks Tim.Yeah,that's how I pay the bills.      

The Shrew is doing good but it was a tough hunting season this past Fall.I was too busy to get out much though I did miss an antelope with the Shrew and definitely no fault of the bow.After that,game movement got really weird and there just wasn't much to go after.               Something drastic has happened to our mule deer population where I hunt and we aren't sure if it was an early Fall storm,a freak migration,lions or what but they are almost all gone.            

I need to look for a new spot for this Fall,though antelope may be OK still.I'm itching to break in that bow.
