Nice Bucks!

Nice mounts guys. TJ that early season coat sure makes for a nice looking mount! I did a euro mount on my buck this year. I'm about to run out of wall space!!

Title: Re: 2008 Mounts
Post by: KentuckyTJ on February 22, 2009, 06:36:00 PM

Haha Biggie, the way I look at it, when you're as old as we are getting anything young is considered a trophy.

Yeah Allan, I love the early season coats as well. This is my second one and they show up every little detail in the form. Everyone that sees them comments on that. Oh yeah and lets see your Euro mount.

Gun Wow you are making me feel better about the prices around here. As everything they have been raising the last few years. This guy is very good and pretty fast (4 months) and now is at $425. Which I think is outrageous. To freeze dry the velvet did cost another $125 on this one but I've wanted one for about 12 years since they backed up our bow season where you can kill one with velvet still on.

TJ, here are a couple pics of mine from this year. My taxidermist is up to over $550 for a shoulder mount....you get what you pay for though.

I think the correct term is "Spiritwalker" There are LOTS of them on here!

What are ya'll talking about? Thats how i shot him, flying straight down out of the tree. Nosediving to my sweet pot call....it was awesome....just like the old Jerry Hill World Championship shot.......hey , I am looking for an old Barn door to attach him to with legs held by leather strap on rusty nail kind of look?

I'll see if we can get a couple pix posted. Taxidermy quality has improved big-time in recent years. Nice work guys. bw

this is the 2nd boar mount i've ever done. it was for a good mate i was hunting with last year. i'd show mine, which was the 1st boar i mounted, but it didn't turn as good as i'd hoped. lessons learnt were applied to this one.

Here is a couple of pics of my 2008 velvet 8pt. I have never seen a buck in full velvet in archery season before and when he walked out I knew he was going to get an arrow slung at him. I shot him on opening day (9/27/08) in McMullen County, Tx with my Sarrels recurve: 48#@29" using a Vapor 2000 arrow and GK 150gr BH.

How's that Shrew treating you? Have any luck with it last fall?

Title: Re: 2008 Mounts
Post by: JimB on March 25, 2009, 11:44:00 AM

Thanks Tim.Yeah,that's how I pay the bills.

The Shrew is doing good but it was a tough hunting season this past Fall.I was too busy to get out much though I did miss an antelope with the Shrew and definitely no fault of the bow.After that,game movement got really weird and there just wasn't much to go after. Something drastic has happened to our mule deer population where I hunt and we aren't sure if it was an early Fall storm,a freak migration,lions or what but they are almost all gone.

I need to look for a new spot for this Fall,though antelope may be OK still.I'm itching to break in that bow.

Sorry not all from 2008. Mountain Caribou from BC. He would make the book, but I never entered him. They do not migrate, so like hunting elk. Find them and put on the stalk. The bear is from BC also - a Grizzley. Moose also from BC. Lion from Colo. and javelina Texas.

These are my brother's and my deer mounts. My brother's (on the right) is from the 2008 season, I killed mine in 2006. They are both from Wisconsin, and killed about a mile or so from each other.

Thanks TJ and Jesse. Those deer are from the SW part of the state. Got lucky and made a good friend in the area, a farmer who knew all the folks around. Met some nice people and gained hunting permission on a handshake. Paid off nicely and we had a ton of fun!

Thomas...it was the 1st morning of a TX Sweat Hunt....there were 30 of them in that herd and all but 3 had already walked right by me...one of the 3 was the biggest, and I wasn't going to shoot any of them but the biggest...it was all or nothing. One of the little ones that had walked by me winded me and started spitting... the 3 facing me turned to leave and I made one of my most memorable shots.

Turned out to be the biggest one I saw all week.

Tom Phillips got one of the others while I was field dressing mine....great memories from that mount, and yes, it does look good, Curt mounted it so what do you expect ;) ....thanks.

Here is one . I didn't kill him in 08' but I did re-mount him in 08' I killed him in 1985. My best whitetail to date. I have re-done the mount 4-5 times over the years.
