Thanks for the link Charlie!  Man that is some incredible work!  Every piece of hair on his mounts is laid perfectly and groomed to the max.  I like the look of the puffed up rutted up Muley buck, you dont see that look especialy with the hair standing, what a lot of work that must have been.  I think as everyone would agree you are well on your way to being as good as anyone out there!

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I know, you are right on the button man!! Did you read his opening page on how he looks at "competition mounts". He invited me over to work a few says with him if I wanted to. He is a heck of a nice guy. He is where I want to be some day. That is great work....perfect work. Thats why mine is average. I have a mount I am going to be doing for the shop on a big heavy blacktail. I was going to di it just like that muley James!

His mounts are impressive, but they also have a lot of "extra's".  Teeth, tounges, etc...not to mention the extra time that goes into producing a mount like that, and you pay for that stuff.

Only problem is they are whitetail noses  ;) Ive tried them, they dont work right for blacktails or muleys.
