the antlers on the one in the video look like a cross between a mule deer and a caribou!!! all those bucks are amazing!!!

Gary the bear, I like it!!!

i'll see if I can get one

i'll give it a shot, my yote came out decent I think

I tan my own deer hides so pretty quick, just need to get a day off to mount it then it has to dry for 2 weeks. I would say 6 weeks tops

not the moose though, that went to the tannery

yes I do

I'm in downtown Troy

this will be my 2nd year doing taxidermy and I would like to offer my services to anyone on this forum who's in or around the capital region. I'll do deer shoulder mounts for $150. I need more practice so as long as I break even on the form and materials I'm happy. Please don't expect master quality work as I am still a beginner, but I will do my very best. Last year I did 7 deer (2 of which were from forum members), 1 coyote, 1 moose and a few fish. I've done a few turkey fan mounts too. Thank you and good luck this season

I'd like to see the rest of that room!!!

ones got a funky left antler and one has a funky right

I have the summit titan and love it. I guess it's a little heavy but I got the front and side bags for it so I don't have to bring a backpack with it. Once your set up it's about the most comfortable stand I ever sat in. highly recommend third hand tree stand stabilizer straps, makes everything rock solid. also the Sherpa game cart accessory turns your climber into a deer cart when you shoot one. https://www.amazon.com/Third-Hand-Climbing-Stands-Stabilizer/dp/B00VR18IVY/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=climbing+tree+stand+straps&qid=1596625555&sr=8-3 https://www.amazon.com/Sherpa-Summit-Hunting-Game-Carts/dp/B00NLM8Q9Q

I have the centerpoint specialist 370 which is the same as the sniper 370 but with some minor upgrades like an adjustable cheek piece and the quiver runs parallel with the rail. not sure if they make that anymore but it's the only crossbow I ever shot and it's deadly accurate. haven't had any problems with the scope myself. haven't shot anything with it yet but it's a great starter crossbow in my opinion

Finally was able to mount my moose this weekend. Did it myself right in my living room! Really happy with him. Had an amazing season. I'll put up better pics in a few weeks after he dries and I do some finish work. This trophy room is really starting to come together! Sent from my SM-J327T using Tapatalk

Agreed!!!

wish I had time to do some brook trout fishing in Maine when I went up for my moose hunt. There was a father and son who were using the same outfitter as me and they came up a few days early to catch some brookies. they did really well and showed me some pictures. super jealous. couple 2 - 3 pounders and a boat load of good 12-15 inchers. all full spawning colors

Adirondack brook trout trip is definitely on my bucket list too. i'll be keeping an eye on this thread

can't wait to see some pics of ohio giants!!! welcome aboard!!!

gives him character! looks awesome!

Yea kinda Sent from my SM-J327T using Tapatalk

yea those are awesome. seen some people paint the whole fan. really cool

I did both of my mossbergs with the mossy oak gun skins. came out pretty good, definitely not as professional looking as hydro dipping but I like them. did them like 6 or 7 years ago and they've held up just fine. cheap too, $30 I think. pretty easy to do, just need a hair dryer or heat gun and a razor to cut excess.

looks great

First coyote I ever shot and the first lifesize animal I ever mounted. I know its far from perfect but I think it's pretty good for my first, still have a lot to learn.
