I had a great time chatting with this returning client who had some fun ideas for this years deer while picking up his mount from last year! I found out last years buck, this one pictured above was not only his first buck, but his first season hunting. I’m always perplexed by how people get into hunting as adults. This one was because he had joined the army and made a lot of friends who hunted and they shared that with him. From his first hunt he said he was hooked. It really is a special experience for so many of us to get that time alone in nature. It’s never too late to get into hunting! Hunter numbers have been decreasing since the 60s, while the average age of hunters have gone up. We can’t let this integral conservation tool age out. Luckily, after the pandemic in 2020 there has been and increase in hunters! I always encourage you to teach someone about the ethics of a hunt or be encouraging and helpful to teaching others!

Happy Christmas Eve to many hunters! With opening day tomorrow I just wanted to give a reminder on how to cape out your deer! There are tons of resources on YouTube and feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Remember field care is one of the most important aspects of having a great mount!

Here are some tips ⬇️

▪️Try not to drag your deer
◾️Cape it and keep it dry and cool asap
▪️Avoid cutting the armpits and brisket too short
◾️ More hide is better than not enough
▪️Do not use water to rinse out the cavity
◾️If your unsure on where to cut along the white and brown hair on the legs- just tube them

Best of luck, be safe, and God bless 🇺🇸 🦌

A reminder if you get a trophy you want mounted in these warm early days please be sure to get the cape off, freeze, or cool it and get it to me ASAP. Do not put ice directly on it. Water and warm temps will destroy it. We want to see those nice early season capes and don’t want you to have to get a replacement!

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! Stay safe and good luck out there 🦌

🟧Happy (almost) October 1st 🟧

Wishing fellow hunters a successful, safe, and rewarding season! Please feel free to reach out with questions and ideas!! I would love to work on some habitat pieces this year. I’m looking forward to the season and seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new. I always enjoy hearing your hunting stories. This year I am hoping to get back in the woods myself, so I thought putting out some basic prices would make it easier for both ends. As always, feel free to pm, text or call!

God bless 🦌

Swipe to see the repair . Tick damage has been brutal. I even had to cut a huge section of bald skin out and sew it and tweak the brisket to hide this big patch. These things take time and attention, but they are always worth the result!

Straight upright on a walnut plaque 🎯

2023 season deer seem to have been hit HARD by the ticks. Anybody else harvest a deer last year and notice this too!?

We finally decided to bite the bullet and take a whack at some merch!

Chocolate antlered New Hampshire buck went home today!! 2022 was a season I got 2 out of state customers and it was such an exciting milestone!

Something small I’ve been wanting to do for a while is take pictures of the mounts in natural lighting. I think it more accurately represents what it looks like and it feels more authentic to see it outside!

Life’s been kind of wild this past year. Here’s some pics of some deer that have been going out. Super proud of where I started to here, but still working on getting better! Working really hard past midnight most nights, and spending random small bits of time trying to research how I can be better. Thank you to those who have continued to support me!!

And so off goes another one to its home 🦌 Although you likely wouldn’t ever see this scar once the deer is put up on the wall, I wanted to spend extra time making sure this deer was the best it could be!

Thanks Eric Croote for bringing this cool buck to Hemlock Hill!
