    My Deer Mount is Back.

    I just got my Colorado buck back from the taxidermist. I did the wall pedestal for the look and also for more options down the road, maybe a floor pedestal if I run out of wall space. I think he turned out great. Brings back so many good memories of the hunt and experiences we had.

    Colorado Mass

    I'm finally getting around to posting up my hunt I had in Colorado 3rd season. As you can see it was a successful hunt not just because I shot a nice deer but because I had seen some beautiful country and was where I wanted to be for a week. The hunt was very tough because there was no snow to...

    Wyoming Scouting Trip

    I just got back from a great scouting trip to check out the unit and see what some of the Antelope are like. I had a lot of fun. Sometimes scouting is a little easier.
