Congrats all around Tim. I've gotten pre-approved clearance from my fiance for all my mounts... except the wild boar. She hates the pig. Maybe if I flash my baby blues at her enough it'll make it into the house.
Alison I've got a feeling you and Barb would get a long great. She does know how important hunting is to me and has always been very supportive. She didn't come from a family who hunts so I've never pushed to have my things in any of the rooms except the office. We don't have a basement that I could fix up so I've been content with just the office. The sheds... well I blame that on Tyler. He would sneak his favorite ones up to his room just to have Barb haul them back out to the garage when she found them. Then he found his first moose shed. I think she just finally got tired of hauling it back out to the garage. LOL Truth be told... Mike (taxidermist ) really deserves the credit. From the very first one he did of Tyler's velvet buck to this last one... has been exceptional. I still remember going up with Barb and Tyler to pick his buck up. Barb was just blown away with how great it looked. She said it looked like art work. He has been the one that really turned Barb from just thinking it's something dead on the wall. She also knew how important it was for me to get his first deer mounted for him. I wasn't surprised when she said we should put this buck in the living room when Mike asked the question. I figured it was going in the night I shot him when we got him home. Barb loved the color of his coat. She made the comment that Mike would make him looks so good that maybe he should go in the living room. She had bugged me to call him to see if it was done on numerous occasion. I wasn't the only one that was looking forward to getting him back. :D I did take his shed and put it on the entertainment center right below him. She let me look at it for a minute or so before telling me to put it back in the office with the rest of those junky sheds. I had to try. :D Tim
Man, he looks so good Tim! Ask Barb since the big 71 incher buck made the living room, is there any chance I can make residence up in the spare room every DEC! Awesome buck my friend, I know how bad you wanted him, and to get him off the ground like you did tucked into a cattail sleugh, you are the MAN! Really happy for you! The taxi work is spot on!
