Awsome job sir!        Man I'm looking forward to Salona thanks for keeping me inspired.

Congrats to both of you. Nice job on those heads Curt.

Curts the best            Nice job as always buddy.

Thanks guys, as someone said about "going thru the whole journey together"...that was the plan. I asked Terry if he'd let me mount his so they would be re-created at the same time.

We wanted pix of then both alive and mounted "together"....Just wish Don had decided to mount his buck...then there would have been three...

To answer a couple questions....

Dirtybird- believe it or not, I've never mounted one of my own turkeys.

Izzy- The form is just as ordered, just a neat pose.

Danny Rowen- You bet bud!

My buck had as many, or more scars on his cape as ever seen on a buck. His nose pad was even deformed a bit from a scar... and in the earlier pix you can see his shoulder area is tore right up. So many others are somewhat hidden by hair...he was a battler no doubt!

But check out the damage to his rack...

A big "chunk" out of his non-typical side, I often wonder what that could have been...

His "normal" side, brow tine...

G-3

The deer is so full of character, and so cool!

Great Post Guru & A-1 Taxi work.

Yeah...really special....that ones going on the left of my other Solana 10 mounted the exact reverse....so I'll have Solana 10 point Book Ends.    

Awesome job Curt, I know whose gonna do my next mount  

It's amazing the amount of cactus thorns Terry's buck had in his hide!

I mean all bucks I've ever done from TX have thorns embedded in their skins. Probably 90% of them you don't see till you see the inside of the skin. Mine had what I would call a "normal amount", a lot.

But Terry's buck must have had an affinity for the prickly pears, I mean just loaded, inside and out!  Like twice as many as I've ever seen!

As a matter fact, several on the hair side made it thru the tanning and mounting process and will be in the finished product....pretty cool!

Impressive Curt, PM sent...

Just an all around cool story with those two bucks!  Great looking mounts Curt!

Great job
