    Default Elk and Red Stag Back from the Taxidermist!

    I’ve been really fortunate and had some fantastic hunts in 2018 and 2019. Most of my hunts are DIY but every couple years I save up and do something special. In 2018 after a couple years of saving I went over to NZ and killed a great Red Stag. It’s was an amazing fun hunt. Then last year I drew a very good tag in NM and I went out there and killed an awesome bull hunting solo. I built the elk display myself and I’m really happy with it. A couple really good friends of mine mounted them. I had a guy online cut out the metal sign that has the exact coordinates of where I shot my bull for the display. I thought it added a really cool personal touch.

    I’m looking forward to another great year. I have a some awesome public land deer on camera. I drew a gator tag. I have a couple good mule deer tags in NM and CO. To top it off I got lucky and drew the exact same elk tag for the second year in a row. It should be an awesome fall. Good luck to all!

    That’s cool.

    I see you like to scare the shit out of people when they come in your house.

    My wife and I are saving for a new house now. My main requirement is vaulted ceilings. I’m running out of room.

    That’s awesome man, I’d have to buy a bigger house if I killed those beasts.

    Really like that elk display. Vaulted ceilings would serve you very well.

    Good stuff!
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    Also, put tongue and groove pine (or similar) on the walls. Makes hanging the mounts a lot easier.

    Awesome bulls.
