Unplug garage door opener first!!!!!

Well this forum has been a bit dry while waiting for the Utah draw to be completed. Thought I would try to lift your spirits!

This is a picture of my 2004 Utah Archery late season buck..181 7/8" gross P & Y.

The story is this: Picked up three deer that were taken in 2004 and put them in my living room all set up nicely against couched, chairs, etc. The wife comes down the stairs with that " Oh here we go again " look and wondering where these mounts are going. I proceed to not recognize her and go about my merry business of finding an acceptable location to take some pictures and was having a hard time.

A while later, my wife comes down stairs again and notices all the deer were missing....not hanging in the living room or in the den. She then proceeded ouside to see what I was doing and said " you have got to be kidding me" with those eye's in the sky look.

As you can see, the garage door worked great with with little screws put into the sections of the garage door.

The moral of the story is: Good thing the wife or kids did not open the garage door. I might think about unplugging the garage door opener first "NEXT" time. Oh, the power of positive thinking.

Good luck to all of you in the draw and I hope none of you take my Mt. Dutton archery elk tag.

Have a good day! Alan

Nice looking mounts and congrats to the both of you for success last year.
Now where did YOUR Bucks finally wind up hanging, surely not on the inside of door?

Looks like 2004 was a good year for you. All three are great looking bucks. What part of montana did you hunt.
 
The archery buck is hanging in the living room and the rifle buck is hanging in the den.
The Montana bucks were taken in the White Sulpher Springs area ( Central Montana ).
 
Wow, nice deer. Looks like the coolest garage door in town! Looks like you have a nice house behind the deer as well.
 
Nice bucks, congrats. Very "uplifting" photo :)

Nice bucks....they all turned out good. That's a funny azz story....I can totally see me wife doing/saying the exact same thing. :)
 
P.S....All taxidermy work was done by Kevin Higley out of West Point, Utah. He is a real nice guy to deal with!
 
Beautiful mounts, and cool idea!
You must have something (a hook)wedged in the seam of the panels on the garage door the way it looks. Please don't tell me you drilled holes in your door to hang those bucks up? But even if you did, it was worth it.......great pictures!
Congrats on a great year.

Holy Cow.... What would you call that???

Some say " Once in a life time..."

How about...

"THREE in a life time!"

Great story. Most of us Utards... can't figure out your screws in the garage door... Picture would be worth a thousand words for us dumb ones.

Good Luck this next year... Would there be a FOUR in a Life Time?

Nice bucks and congrats on a great year. And a good story to go along with it. That method would not work for me, since we don't have a garage!

Thanks for the post.
