Thanks Muley's . Women always say "why do you have to have so many deer head's " I tell them because I can. It's "my" house.
Then I show them the smaller racks on the rafters in the garage... OH my God ! Why do you shoot animals ? Because...???
I have friend's that their wives won't even let them hang a head on the wall...PW. My ex wife liked them. She had to arrange them though because she was an interior designer. No problemo ! A lot of bucks in D14 have the same antler genetic's.Same gene pool I suppose.
Bigshot,
You are right on. It was Tom E. I used to pack into whitewater with him sometimes. He has done a lot of my mounts. In the one picture, he did the last 3 on the right. Yep, fish cop's screwed him over. I thought he moved to Colorado after. He got lyme disease a long time ago. Back in 80's, unless he got it again. I didn't know he was back from Co. or still in Riverside area. Haven't seen him in 25 yrs. plus. The other taxidermist I hunted with once in Ca. , I never saw him again after. He was a friend of a friend. Shooting at bucks with a 30-30 w/no scope in Whitewater... I called him a few names and told him to stay the f away from me. He told me he hit two deer and couldn't find them. The other Taxidermist in Ca. I only hunted with him in Wy. and Ut..Another lives in Wy. I guess if you hang around their shops enough you end up hunting with them... Heck, you give them enough $$$ !
