But he's been moved to Titus since 2006 or earlier for sure because he mounted my first rack buck in 06

I'll eventually get it someday. He's got a nice place up there but it's an hour one way to him now from Montgomery. Does beautiful work on feathers and fins.

If I wasn't using artistic whitetails now I would still be using him. Artistic whitetails is better by a margin though.
