If you'd have put some sleep/gook in the tear ducts, some buggars in the nostrals... With the right camera angle, I'd have figured that was a photo of a live walkin talkin boo at the zoo!

Wow! Looks mighty nice.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The velvet is awesome and the hair on that mount is so soft you would think it was your pet dog. I was at Charlies today and saw it up close, its amazing how soft the hair is on that thing!!!!
 Jon, you are going to love it!!! If it was paid for I would have bought it home for you ;)

Wow, again nice work Charlie, it looks great.

Jon, did your hunt ever air on the Hunting Channel. If I remember right I thought you said it was gonna be on a Cabelas Outdoor Adventures or something??? I can't remember what show but I haven't been able to find it, just curious.

Thanks,

Brown
