Thanks guys. After pulling the trigger and seeing him go down, I got the same adrenalin rush as when I shot my first deer. That feeling never gets old!

The wife is actually wanting to get a shoulder mount done. The cape was ruined from the neck shot, so would need a new one. I have not priced having one done, what do they run?  :dunno:

The cape wasn't necessarily ruined from a  neck shot.  It's amazing what a competent taxidermist can do.  Also, they could use a pose that hides the area if necessary.  I'd pm one of the very good taxidermists we have on H-W. 

Gotta love a wife that doesn't try to rain on your parade! 
Nothing witty here.... move along.

The Wife dropped the head off at the taxidermist yesterday as well as the hide at Quil Ceda Tanning to get it done. She even has a spot picked out on the wall to hang him.  :IBCOOL:
