2017 Mounts

Post by Species8472 »

Got 3 out of 4 items back from the taxidermist today. Still waiting on a bear rug from the bear I took.

My personal favourite is the bear my oldest son took - his first bear ever:

After:

Next up is the first buck ever for my youngest son:

Last up is my late season 9pt:

After:

Actually the last up will be the bear rug from this bear that I took on the opener:

After I get my rug I am pretty sure the taxidermist will be driving a new truck once everything is paid for.

It was nice following your hunts last season. Your taxidermist deservers a good tip for good smiles and memories.

Impressive. Yeah - I imagine that’s worth a couple of truck payments at least. :lol:
