well i had a vacation day today...so i finished up this gar skull, that i shot a month ago. i found the driftwood in a backwater swamp. then after i mounted the skull on the wood....i went walking and shooting fish. didnt take pics of all the fish but heres a few. gar and bowfin were everywhere. and finally i came home and admired/ shot my new hoyt dorado that my wife suprised me with:) what a fun day!

 

 

Nice work.  Looks like a great day

Great pics!!!

The pig skulls in the background look great too.

A day well spent!  

Very Cool skull!

Forgot to mention, that is a cool little bow!!!

Also, I bet even MY skull wouldn`t be nearly as impressive as that tooth infested beasts`.

how did you mount the skull?  Did you leave it to the ants or boil it?

Good stuff! Id sure like to shoot a few bowfin.

Awesome, first time I've seen a gar skull.

Very nice. I'd be interested to hear how you did that gar skull.

By the way, those dogfish are huge! I'm still waiting to shoot one of them around here.

Nice better than a day at work.

Cool! So how do you like the Dorado? Oh yeah, and how the heck did you find a wife that will buy you a new bow??LOL

thanks guys! and to answer the questions- i let the ants clean the skull before cleaning with peroxide and drying....then filled the hollow skull with 2 part epoxy( to add strength) and then sprayed 7-8 coats of clear.....as for the dorado, well it is the quietest bow i own. no kidding, it didnt need all the silencing tricks....just a pair of string leeches and it is quiet as can be. i chronoed it and it shoots 5fps slower than my gamemaster, but thats nothing. and the wife, well she heard me talking about the dorado sooo much she just had to shut me up and buy it....plus i left the hoyt catalog out and circled at all times:)

Nice gar, nice bow, better wife!!!    

Shot a bowfin in the head once and it broke my arrow. It was supposed to be an indestructable arrow, so I was able to get a new one.

Never did see a gar while bowfishing.

Good stuff though nice skull mount.  

Thanks for the idea.A northern pike would be cool also.

Very cool. I'll have to try that w/ a longnose, once I find one that dosn't need to be quieted down.
