 You gotta be boared up there to be surfing this forum  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Sorry I couldn't go whack dogs last month but things have been crazy in the shop. It's starting to settle down now and I can actually relax.
 Thanks for the nice remarks. you should take some pics of the mounts I did for you and post em up. Make sure you groom them first so they look respectable :chuckle: :chuckle:

Thanks

Jeff

If I ever learn how to operate a camera I will! I love seeing my antelope and deer that you did every day, and I wish I had 'Hairy" up here with me too! Keep up the good work! It's probably a good thing you didn't go......I missed twice >:( Next time I go though I'll holler at you. :hello:

Nice mount! My Peola "A" bull had a dark rack also, your color is very close if not right on. They must rub against some dark stuff in the Blues.

That loos great. I am not sure I could justify mounting sheds however.

rosscrazyelk:
Believe it or not I'm getting more and more inquiries for mounting sheds than ever before. I would attribute that to the odds of drawing a local tag. It's awefully hard to go out and consistently see 370 class bulls and know that the chances of drawing a tag are slim. So when shed hunting season comes around and your picking up set after set of monster bulls you start thinking about mounting them. That's exactly what happened in this case.

  Good looking mount, just love looking at that brute.  When I'm down toward Dayton I would like to see your shop. :)   :)  I've got around a 330" I need mounted. :)   :)  DF John
