What are you hunting/fishing?
-
bocephus yea all night time pictures so far but they have started staying till almost daylight. So I’m hoping that 1 of them will just start staying a little bit longer. It’s still nice to know that they are in the area.
cdavis We have a couple of nice ones showing up at night also, hoping they will come by during the day in a month and a half. We are starting to see more does during the day as temps cool.

YooperDog I had a couple more nice bucks show up in the last few days. Hopefully 1 of them will be hanging vertically in a few more days.

cdavis Holy Chit!!! Those have some super long tines!

Mine have disappeared like usual, grrrrr. Going out tonight then will probably hold off for a few weeks

bocephus that’s my biggest plus here. I’ve got quite a few daytime does.

cdavis I thought some of yall might enjoy seeing this. I just finished mounting one of my bow kills from last year. It’s called a pack out mount. I put it on a pack frame like you would pack one out from a remote area.

cdavis nice looking mount. Definitely a unique way to present it… I like it, my wife probably not so much. Will look good in your man cave.

cdavis I have not seen that style of mount before. Interesting.

cdavis for some reason I just can’t get into the pack mounts. Yours is the first one I have seen with the blanket and old style canteen. Pretty cool. Do you know what forms you use? I have not seen them with that kind of muscular detail. Or does your taxidermist sculpture the form more from the factory to get that detail?

cdavis Never seen one done this way, unique and nice.

I plan on hunting some good central Illinois, corn fed whitetails in Nov. I only shotgun hunt, as i dont have the time for archery. I prefer does to bucks as i just want some good venison for snack sticks. I already have my trophy buck. See my profile pic.

twilliams the form is called a stubby. I do taxidermy for a hobby. I mount 40 to 50 heads a year. I use all Dan Chase forms. To show any detail you have to rework the forms. I do it to all my mounts. I like the detail and so do my customers .I think it’s worth the extra work. 20160430_150924.jpg

cdavis that’s awesome you do it yourself, I’ve always wanted to learn it. That detail definitely puts on the charm

twilliams thank you very much. It took some trial and error on my own stuff to get it where I liked it.
