Checking in to say thank you for another great gun season! The deer taken this year are some of the oldest I've ever seen. The numbers were surprisingly high, and the harvest of trophy animals was amazing. It is another deer season that put us into triple digits in deer shoulder mounts, now for over 15 years in a row.

It was heartwarming to see the families come in, along with a growing constituency of women hunters and a few senior clients I haven't seen in 30 years.

The count was close to even between archery and gun hunters with bow hunters having a slight edge. Overall, I was happy with the parody between the seasons.

I would especially like to thank the hunters who travelled over 100 miles to get their trophy to me. That is a long drive, and we appreciate your effort, we will make sure you are happy with our product.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

I just want to say thank you archers, both returnees and newcomers, for making this a great bow season! We appreciate your skill, and persistence in achieving success on many beautiful trophies this fall. Referrals were numerous, and thanks for spreading the word. We love it when a name is mentioned when they're brought in.

Here's one from 2E, delivered this morning. This buck is unreal in person.

Don't forget there is five days left to the season. The rut is still strong.

The '23 archery season is going much better than expected! The deer are moving very well this week with many calls and trophies being brought in! It is amazing despite the warm conditions. Keep hunting!

After much thought and speculation, I have decided to be an authorized CWD cooperator for the game commission. This means you can now legally bring your trophy here direct, the whole deer or head un caped, fresh, or frozen from any CWD unit in Pennsylvania, and/or from entire neighboring states.

With the continuous expansion of disease units in Indiana and Armstrong counties I virtually had no choice. This permit now authorizes receptions from crucial areas such as SGL 54 and 44 in Jefferson and Elk counties. Areas that I have historically drawn from are now open again. If you are hunting Illionois, Indiana or Iowa or anywhere that you may cross multiple state lines, it is best to check transportation regs in those states. Caping with clean skull plate may still be your best bet to avoid hassles.

I am satisfied with the regulations put forth by the PGC and find them lenient and favorable. Your privacy is protected and that is my main concern.

2023. We are now into our 35th fall of business. Archery season is beginning to roll! The buck that come to our shop are truly amazing! The 22 season was again in the triple digits for the number of whitetail trophies. We are honored with the number of referrals and returns. Thank you for keeping the faith and having patience during these continuing difficult times. We are working diligently. Keep them coming!

Wall pedastal whitetail mounts will remain the same price as the cost of a regular shoulder mount this fall. This mount features a Mckenzie 6900 series upgraded with a Joe Meder change out head for fit.
