Here's a picture of how the Moose Tower Stand got named.  Local hunters from years past had erected this tower to watch over the river & swamp near our present day stand...Doc

Looks like I will be making 2nd trip to taxidermist to have a couple more Bear Hides tanned.So far I have brought 4 up to be worked on 2 Rugs to be made for Thomas Burns & Grant Young along with hides tanned for Steve & JC.Eric & Lloyd have decided to have their hides tanned as well.Then I will take a trip to leave a pile of Bear skulls to be cleaned by the beetles !!

[d. ward]

The beetle cleaning has gotta be easier then doing them yourself...Trust me on this one...Linda was so pee'd off when she got home from work last week and I was boiling last years and this years bear skulls.There is a certin smell to a bear skull cooking on the range top that is hard to discribe....

[Huntrdfk]

Bowdoc if you are boiling those skulls on the kitchen range you have two things that I don't.......a lot of guts and an awfully understanding wife!
    No way, no how would that happen in my house, last time I boiled skulls we had to be 50 yards from the house.......

[Tom Phillips]

Skulls look good Bowdaddy.  Might have you doin em at BEAR QUEST III between making meals and Trackin Bears :-)you will not have to wear apron then !!!

[Barry Wensel]

Easy Tom... he'll just throw some spuds, carrots and onions in the pot and feed it to us. bw

[Grant Young]

Way to cover our backs, Barry. Thanks!       Grant

[BigRonHuntAlot]

LOL, That Bear Brain Gravy and Eggs could kill us all...  

Question for you second week guys,...  Did you all watch the chef closely... On the first week I saw some vittles hit the floor and old bowdaddy holler 5 second rule and the trash can was empty!  LOL

As Sargent Shultz says......

I see NOTHING,NOTHING.....

[Greyfox54]

Bowdoc is one of those rare guys that can make any meal taste better in camp . I don't doubt him that his wife can live without him for a few weeks next year , but probably not longer .

[d. ward]

Oh yeah that got her a little ticked off to say the least....I myself could not smell the skulls cooking with the garlic powder,seasoning salt,onion and Palmolive dish washer detergent I added...but you know how them native women are,she smelled the skulls cooking as soon as she got out of her car and in no way believed me it was beef stew I was makeing...I will admit I did snag a couple things off the floor in camp and toss them back into the kettle and the hot dogs that fell on the ground were already cooked...but as you recall they were still rolling and had not come to a complete stop.Which makes it legal to toss that item back into said kettle or on the grill..I'll make sure we bring extra spuds for Grant and UB next year....Heck Fred I was thinking of takeing 3-4 weeks vacation next year and spending one day at each guy's house....your place is first on my visit list..........yahoooooo your new son bowdoc

[BigRonHuntAlot]

LOL, Don, I might      

[tippit]
