Here is my Idaho Whitey.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

The skull is actually one of the synthetic skulls.  I cut it for a traditional mount before I decided I wanted it as a European so I bought one of the kits and had the horns put into it. Then painted it all white and I believe it is a gloss white and that is why it is shiny.

wastickslinger ....  Thank you so much for posting that.  I absolutely love that look and I am thinking that is what I want for my next mount.  Where did you get the wood stand if you don't mind me asking?

Dad made me a few(one stained dark and one light). I told him he needs to patten it and sell them. I could take orders.  :chuckle:

Your dad does good work I would think he would be able to sell some of them.  Yeah a little bigger would fit nicely in that opening...

My first BT.  Went with the aged barn plank look.  Did it by opening up two eye bolts out of the garage and putting a little angle bend on them.  wastickslinger your dad did an awesome job, I think I'm gonna ask my dad for some father-son carpentry time and learn to make one similar.

My first one I did it myself. It's my archery buck from this year. Going down to Central Oregon desert this winter to look for a pedestal of sorts to mount it on. Hopefully will find a nice Burl or Burnt snag to put it on.
