Thank you!! I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to kill that deer- best part is, my dad was with me and filmed it with his iPhone. He's a bow hunter, but neither of us wanted to sit in an open tree during the onset of that awesome snowstorm we got last year. We sat together in a shooting house and I cracked him!

That doe + buck mount is really sharp. I've always thought of mounting a doe - they are beautiful animals.

Big Game Hunter, where did you kill the Pronghorns. I have a savings account set up specifically to go hunt them once I can pay for it in full and get the time off work. I'd like some advice on where and when to go.

I've shot them in various areas in Wyoming and in Alberta.
Pronghorn is the cheapest western big game critter with the highest success rate there is. Plus they are lots of fun to hunt.
When you decide to go, feel free to contact me and I'll share what I know.
Just remember, the year you want to go, you'll have to apply for a tag in early spring.

That doe + buck mount is really sharp. I've always thought of mounting a doe - they are beautiful animals. Here's what you can't tell about that piece from the pic- the doe is the centerpiece. The buck is an accent. He doesnt even touch the wall. She mounts to the wall, and he is attached to her. It is really cool!!! Yesterday I hunted with some friends in union springs, and I was asked to shoot a doe. There was however, one catch. There was a doe on the property I was not allowed to kill with a double white patch on her throat. I saw her. She was gorgeous!! That's the kind of doe you have mounted. They have something special planned for her next year- they just have to kill the right buck to put her with.. My advise is make sure you have a taxidermist that is very competent before you have a doe mounted. A bad doe mount will really look like a turd. There is no rack on top of her head to draw your eyes away from the problems....

It's actually a common gallinule.
It makes a cool conversation piece. Been wanting me a Gallinule. Cool Mount.

The one on the right was actually killed in Illinois. All the rest are Alabama deer. I wish I could find a trail cam pic of him. Where that beam buckles he actually had 4 kickers splinter out of it. At least ten inches worth. He was cool looking. Would like to get what he has broken off fixed but probably won't ever get around to it.

I've been contemplating a paid hunt up north.
