You should et his permisson because he did a GREAT job. Awesome "local" buck. Did you take him with that bow? I also like the border. Thats COOL!
yes, I took him with the bow in the background. One of my most memorable hunts to date, I worked my butt off in my quest for a mature muley.

I don't really care, he is my best buck with a bow and I'm very proud of the deer and the hunt.

I finally got the opportunity to talk to my Taxidermist friend and he gave me the OK to publish his name:
Jack Page, his business is called Mineral Lake Taxidermy (360) 492-5971
He is very meticulous about the fine details of his work, I highly recommend him.

Just outta curiousity.....do you worry about your bowstring on your bow being hung up like that? I did that for a while and just didn't like the fact there is always constant pressure on it. I know the weight of the bow isn't much, but if it sits there for an extended period of time it may have an effect. What do you think? Would love to display mine like that some how as well.

BTW.....we just so happen to shoot the exact same bow. :)
I've been hanging it that way for a few years now and it doesn't seem to give me any ill effects. Of course I wear out a string about every 6 or 8 months, I try to shoot everyday. I shoot less often in the winter because of the daylight or lack there of. I guess I don't think an extra 4 lbs is enough to promote extra stretch?
How do you like the Outback, I think I'm about ready to get rid of mine? I really don't like the short valley with the Outback's cam.

I love my Outback! I will say though they make hit hard to keep a bow for too long with a the new ones that come out every year. But, the way I see it is if it works and has worked in the past....why change it. I got mine 3yrs. ago this Christmas and haven't changed anything on it......yet. :) Gonna change my site during the off season and that's it.
You say you don't like the short valley on the cams.....why not. Some would say it effects it's accuracy, but I don't think it does.

My style of shooting is to relax at full draw, the backtension guys would love it but it seems like it wants to take off on me if I relax at all. (it's worse at 65%, at 80% it's not bad) Don't get me wrong I shoot it well and have been very successsful for the 4 years I've owned it. It's kind of like driving someones new car, makes you want one, well I've shot a few of my friends bows and it gave me the bug.

Wow!!! Nice Buck coonhound !!! But I cringed when I saw that Bow hung up by the string?
Mr. Slider,
Why do you cringe about my bow hanging by the string? The string is pre-stressed at 800lbs I have the bow set at 64lbs, It's hard to believe that adding an extra 4 pounds to the string is going to give me any additional stretch? I've been hanging it that way for years and it has never shown any signs of wear, stretch or timing problems. Of course I'm always open for input, if I'm missing something please expand. Thanks.

Coon.......I am not really sure how to prove the point on the string. Its been in every magazine and book since Genesis practically, and I am not even sure. I do know that I don't even pretend to know a 1/4 of what there is to know about bow mechanics, and I don't want to question the likes of Schuh, Jones, and Adams. I figure they know a hell of alot more than I do. I can imagine that it can cause specified stress to weaken the string and eventually cause it to break. They also recommend changing your strings alot, which I do not do, but had one snap on me the day before elk season one year. That was a scary experience and very inconvienent.
