Very nice looking mount! Sad way to die for that big boy.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

are those the original fence posts as well?
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

they are not the original posts but we thought the aged scene would give it more character.... we love taxidermy and think it should be considered more of an art then anything else...

That mount and habitat look good! I have a bunch of blacktails I have killed that I was going to do Pedestals and Habitat with, I just cant ever make up my mind how I am going to alter the forms . I think I have blown more money on forms for my stuff than I make in a year running my buisness :chuckle: One of these days I will mount some of my stuff, but untill then the customers stuff will be getting done!

The sign says it was found hunting season of 96, did he burn his tag for it?
