This was a real nice bull that Skookumhunter killed in november of 09. Ive been swamped out of my gord trying to keep up with raw stuff and havent had much time to get any mounting or finishing done. Well, here is a start.

Great work Charlie... hoping to someday give you some business.   :bash: :bash:
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.

Dude, I just got a Yak , yes a Yak in the end of December  :yike: . It was 150 pounds on the head. The cape weighed 115 after I got it off the head. Fun, Fun!!  :chuckle: Oh and 2 more bears too from a good customer of mine. I actually turned alot of stuff down this year to get caught up on stuff.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

My back hurts just thinking about all the fleshing you will have to do. As for the bears I hate doing them especially the paws  :bash: :bash: :bash: Your muley you did on your other post is outstanding. Don't forget to show us the Yak when you get it mounted that is if you're not all crippled up  :chuckle: :chuckle:
