WHO EVER DID THAT DID A FANTASTIC JOB....NICE.

well guys, wish me luck. im gonna try to shoot a big gar today to mount! ive shot some nice ones so far this month but i want a big needlnose to mount next to this bowfin.

[reddogge]

I hooked what I thought was a very large bass on a spinnerbait in SC some years ago and it was a monster bowfin.  Those things give me the creeps.  Your taxidermist did a great job.

That's a $100 dogfish at the GLBC the first weekend of June! Cool mount. I've seen carp done like that, never a bowfin (dogfish).

[Jeff Romans]

Great shot!  You pinned that bowfin to a piece of driftwood with your arrow!  That takes some talent!  Joking aside, cool mount!

[Stone Knife]

That is sweet  

[Sheepshooter]

Love the mount. I really liked what you did with the coyote too. I think that'll be what I do with a coyote if I can ever get one with my bow. They are my nemesis.

[bmb]

yeah the same taxidermist did all the animals. not the skulls on the table though. those are just smaller hog skulls. but on the opposite wall i have a killer coyote skull he did just a few weeks ago. it was the first coyote i called in with my own call and with a shotgun to boot! the pedestal coyote mount was from 3 yrs ago. she was a beauty.

[Chris Surtees]

Very nice

Awsome!! Neat idea.  

[Ken Taylor]

It's really, really nice... but no strange looking creature like that in these parts!

I was going to speculate that you were single when I saw that bedroom, but you cleared that up nicely a page back!   :D  

Man, I'd be privilaged to stay in such a "guest house".

Cool mounts man. Just getting them has to be 2 evenings worth of great tales!

[La. bowhunter]

Awesome mount I have shot quite a few bowfin but I aint never seen one that big. Congrats on a great fish and a great mount.

Ken,

My grandfather used to own a fish camp north of Midland, Ontario (Honey Harbour, on Georgian Bay).  They had grindel (bowfin) there.  A friend of his "lipped" a big bass he caught-only it wasn't a bass, it was a grindel.  Chewed his thumb up real bad.

[Don Stokes]

Nope, you sure don't want to lip one! Their mouths are septic, and it's an almost instant infection if they bite you. Lots of them in MS. I've arrowed a few, and caught a near 10 pounder on light tackle- what a fight! They do look very much like the snake-headed fish except for color, must be a close relative.
