I'd really love to do a replica for the mount and a euro with the original horns. They are so amazing and I'd love to be able to allow people to pick them up and handle them whenever.


I think some of us would like to contribute to make that happen.  I'll throw in the first $100  :tup:
That's incredibly generous but I could never accept.  Still need to talk to my taxi about options.

Thanks Karl!

Really appreciate you taking the time to bring us along! Hope you can use us as a rough draft and get it into eastmans or something!

I’m going to link this to my sons. The days of grinding off vibrams are coming to an end for me I’m sure, but they’re just beginning for them! Hoping the Blanchard boys can inspire them to go for it!

Again, sincerely appreciate your time!

Man I tell ya what. Hanging in the BRA hanger getting to know people from around the world with different interests yet similar goals was possibly one of the highlights of my trip...so many awesome people and so inquisitive as to how we got a week's worth of food and gear in backpacks.... :chuckle:. Our "tarp" square was the least occupied of anyone's.

That part of your story really brought back some memories... :tup:

This is awesome....
Epic is one of the most over-used terms in hunting description and always makes me cringe.. I have seen it used for mid-west whitetail hunts, good prairie dog days and even fishing for crappie... all stupid

I have never said this before... but this trip was EPIC

Congratulations!

somehow neither of us took a picture of it  :bash:

Basically just Chris crossed antlers to create air flow underneath the meat. It wasn't anything elaborate, just a stack of old white sheds.

It would have drove me nuts not to be able to pack some of those sheds back!  :drool:

it was wild man! There's literally hundreds of them everywhere. It became a running joke. "Holy smokes Michael I just glassed up a shed!"

I had a friend who lived in Alaska right out of high school and he told me about floating some of the rivers way up there. He said one time they floated some river where they kept stopping to do some exploring from shore and every time they stopped they picked up six or more moose sheds that were enormous. He said they had to quit grabbing them cuz the gear raft was full and gonna sink and they couldn't handle anymore! He moved back to Washington and left them all laying in the wood shed at his old place! I told him those sheds could have paid for his travel expenses!  :bash:
