Not sure if you remember me from BT Country, but I had won a raffle at one of the meetings for a jacket some years back but it didn't fit and I made sure to pass it on to you! I really had no interest in all of the California and even Oregon BT's that made up most of that website and started looking around and found this great site. Been on here ever since!
Again, great to see you on here old friend!

I call the wall "Bucksarray". The plaques identify the animal, and show weight and date, and place taken. They are all pretty old. The muley I killed in 1969 near Winthrop WA. He is 29 inches wide, field dressed 240 pds. Thanks for your interest. Call again. Muskrat

Alan I remember you well. It is nice to hear from you. I still have that jacket. I am forever grateful to you for giving that to me. How is your Dad? I still have a piece of the elk he gave me. I keep it as reminder of my good fortune. I too am a little depressed about the other website. I grow weary listening to all the non hunting palaver that goes on there. Not much of a source for hunting info about Washington. I am grateful to 1morebuck for directing me to this site. It is great and right down my alley.
I keep getting older, and am running on low octane these days. But I still manage to get out among them. I just came back from the NE Washington high country where I was hunting Whitetails and Mulies. Not many of either, but did take a nice whitetail doe, which is good for me. Well, Alan, tell your Dad hello, and you and he have a successful elk season. Keep in touch. Muskrat (Chuck)

Nice racks Muskrat... So how has your deer season gone so far?
Hi Hunt, thanks. My deer season ended about 15 minutes after I got in position overlooking an
old skidder road and the deer got in her position, 98 yards down the skid. The Nosler Accubond
went off and that was the end of my season. I was hunting in the over 65 season in the 101 unit. Nice whitetail doe, about 150 pounds. Great time, and very challenging. The High Cascades are very intimidating to a senior citizen. Anyway, all is well with me. I just turned 74
and hope to be hunting elk in the late archery season. Good luck to you. Muskrat (Chuck)

;)Outstanding trophy wall Austrian Hunter. I have a brother-in-law in Texas that has several walls
in his Man Cave (the whole house) that look about like yours. He has taken every African animal
except a hippo. He is 88 years old and still says he is going to take a hippo. Thanks for sharing
with us. Congratulations on all your past hunts and good luck in your future ones. Muskrat

You are the man and hunting at 74. I bet most of us hope to have your get up and go at that 74. You have set a great goal for most of us. With the exception of you damn older brother. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
It is interesting how many were on BTC and went to the BTC meeting as well.

Good to see your still slayin deer my friend! :hello:
Ron
Ron glad to heat from you. I have often wandered about you and how you were doing after your health episode.
I am getting along pretty good, and still let the desire to hunt guide me. I don't tromp around the hills at all anymore. My companion hunter posts me in a likely spot and I just get lucky.
Thanks for your message. Take care, and good luck hunting. Post some of your outstanding pictures. Happy Thanksgiving. Muskrat (Chuck)

1. That I want to be that guy when I grow up
2. What I should have studied in college to make that kind of money
3. Who has a stripper pole in their house
4. Why is God mad at me and apparently loves this guy
5. What heaven probably looks like
6. How do I get Austrian Hunter to be my friend
7. Where the next Hunt-WA get together should be held
8. Whether or not to invite wives/girlfriends to the next Hunt-WA get together
9. If wives/girlfriends should have to fill out some sort of questionaire before being invited to the next Hunt-WA get together
These are the most common topics. Some of the more seedy one I have omitted. Thank you Austrian for your yearly man-cave contribution. It's like the rut; I look forward to it every year... :tup:

Well our house is more of a family cave, everyone in the family hunts, we mounted all the kids first critters no matter what size they were, so everything isn't what most people would call trophies, but they are to my family, here's our main deer and elk wall.... :)
There's my dream wall. I dig the rugs on the ceiling and a couple does...nice touch!!! :tup:

My youngest daughter's doe in the previous photo is one of the neatest mounts in our place, she is beautiful. For twenty years my wife wanted a cub mounted and I wouldn't let her shoot one because I was worried about what other people would say that come to our house. I was gone hunting in Idaho and she killed this cub and had it mounted. I have to admit, it's one of the coolest mounts in our house... :tup:
I think so Dale. It's really cool looking.

Chuck great to see you on here, my man cave right now is spread out between three states so hard to get pictures up. Hopefully will be building the new house soon and then will have it all back together.Thanks Joe. Just the mounts you have on the walls in your house here in Washington, make me drool. Nice to hear from you We did not get any mountable animals this year. Dave and I both got whitetail does in the 101 GMU during the senior hunt in October. Has not been a good late archery hunt for elk for us. Hope all is well with your family. Merry Christmas. Chuck (Muskrat)
Once again great to see you on here....

How the heck do you guys gfet the skins to hang right on the wall or ceiling?
There are layers of felt behind the skin, push thumbtacs through the felt into the wall to support the rug, just make sure they are hidden behind the skin.

havent seen too many jackalopes running around this yearThey are a very elusive animal, and require heavy scouting with at least 2 dozen trail cameras to properly pattern them :tup:
