    The Taxidermy Thread

    Here is an old school mount from 1980. The taxidermist made his own forms and did everything himself. Not bad for over 45 years old. I wish he had done all my mounts. When he passed away I had to find a new guy.

    Another Poacher

    I thought it was a felony in Idaho if the rack measured over 150 ?

    Eastmans' Hunting Journal - Annual Mule Deer issue

    Yeah, I see the cover story has no mention of the state. What's up with that?

    Hunting Doe

    No muley does for me. I hate to see them taken even when fish and game departments give out tags for them.

    Where is everyone?

    mallardsX2... Yeah, I'd be pissed about it too. I've never seen one with pink ears. Maybe it's something in the tanning solution. The seam along the back also doesn't appear to be laying flat. You could try air brushing a little brown in the ears ?

    What are you guys reading?

    I'm reading the Kaiser's Web by Steve Berry right now. This is the 16th in the Cotton Malone series and I've read all of them. I like John Sanford's Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport series also. I also like CJ Box and Tony Hillerman.

    When did you kill your first deer?

    Thanks Dan. This was my 2nd out of state hunt with my family. We were hunting the Gravelly Range mainly for elk. There weren't a lot of deer but if you saw one it would most likely be a buck. We saw very few does back then.
