I just hope at some point in my lifetime I can one up you. not holding my breath. never get sick of looking at him. mass, width, age, character... he's got it all!

Was that shadow comment a fat joke?? Jealousy is a stinky cologne Tiimberghost...and I'm downwind. :IBCOOL:

Appreciate the kind words all, he really ties the room together!

Post by: Watimberghost on April 20, 2014, 08:04:51 AM: The "purple" skull is a buck that he killed a few years back that my mom beaded. I think its got the same pattern as a buffalo skull on an old Eagles album cover. I'm sure my brother will put post pics of it.

Happy Easter everyone! He is risen!!

Title: Re: Bruiser buck back from taxidermist
Post by: sternwarning on April 20, 2014, 09:32:36 PM: Sooo...not absolutely crazy about beaded skulls. But he was my first buck, I was with my mom and she wanted to bead it. There are some cool design ideas out there, but I'd only bead a buck I'm not crazy about, or a cougar kill I find. Buffalo skulls can look cool and are better to bead because there is much more surface area. Anyway, here are a couple pics.
