Finally got to see my bull!

In_the_Shadows · Mar 16, 2013

My 2011 bull is finally done and I got to see it for the first time at a banquet last night. I can't thank Rich at Desert Pines Taxidermy enough, it turned out better than I could've ever imagined. He even surprised me with an etching in the rocks of a photo from when I killed him. I'm still shocked at how good I think it looks.

Its lonely at the top.... just the way I like it.

Really nice! Whats the story on that stud?

In_the_Shadows · Mar 17, 2013

Thanks guys. He was my 2011 archery bull, it was the most amazing hunt of my life and I still can't believe how lucky I was to draw the tag and harvest a bull.

Looks like he could get up and walk away at any moment. Very nice mount and well done on a trophy of a lifetime.

In_the_Shadows,

I didn't know that you wrote this story...very cool. I'm hoping you'll post the picture on the Sheep forum of your mountain goat. That might be an even bigger hit.

HAHAHA, thanks! While I'm sure most on here would appreciate the goat picture I'm not sure that posting it on the web would be a wise decision. I like your style though.
