Nice buck and mount.

I was going to say Travis you need to come down and I can teach you a few things I have learned from some awesome taxidermists. And some simple things that help too. Looks like you have a pretty good start for being self taught!

Charlie, I need to scheduled some time to bring my elk cape down. if you want to help me turn the eyes ears and nose  and maybe show me how to pressure wash the cape. so i can get it salted and sent out 
thanks
Travis

When do you want to come down or when can you come down? You'll like the pressure washer trick. Its quick and easy!

Nice job, that looks good Travis.  Lonnie said you did some taxi on the side for fun.  Good hobby for a natural born killer.  Hope your boy is feeling better.  Me and mine just got rid of the crud after about a month of coughs.  You couldn't tell tonight though with all the runnin around for Halloween.
