Here ya go

Soooo, I ended up with a CVA wolf, Bass pro in Auburn had one for 315 with a scope and a case, added in the primers, pellets and cleaning products and I was out the door a happy man. Had her in the bullseye in 3 shots. I’m sure happy and appreciative of everyone who chimed in. Ya’ll are great

All - I have always gotten good advice when I reach out, so here I go. Looking to buy a ML, never owned one and want to take advantage of the ML season. any suggestions from the good people on here is appreciated my price point would be +/- $ 500 range with a scope Thanks in advance

Where in the Catskill range are you?

No, @The_Real_TCIII straight peroxide. I put the peroxide in a small container and then submerge the skull. I then gently add more peroxide to cover as much of the skull as I can. Lastly, I'll take an old white sock, and cover the top of the head/skull so as not to get any on the antlers. I also put electrical tape on the base of the antlers to prevent any peroxide from getting on bottom of antlers. If it ever happens, and it hasn't happened to me you can use a brown sharpie to rectify any peroxide splash on that brownish part of the antlers

Peroxide for 3-4 days

Last year I found an old wine barrel in the woods and thought it would make a unique/different way to display a mount. My buddy got the seven and I the spike. I always enjoy doing the euros it seems to extend the hunt and gives me something to do in my spare time

Congrats on the beautiful home, and family but also your dedication to achieving your dream of owning that home. Good things happen to good people !

when I was a kid, and just beginning my hunting career, one of the things my dad told/taught me was to always look up when you sit on the ground/ ground blind. Even a "smaller" branch can do damage if it falls on you. Great to hear that this was a story with a happy ending, and a lesson for all of us who go out - be aware of our surroundings and careful where we walk or sit

you just need to make as much time for hunting as you do for making babies...LOL. Good luck and get some meat on the table for the growing family!!

They key was the VERY hot grill, and no more than 2-3 mins on each side, ( kind of reminded me of Ahi steaks) little bit of grey all around the outside but nice and pink on the inside
