Around here we look for any reason to celebrate and go to lunch. Halle turns 19 and Dave is celebrating 38 years of Marriage. (That’s counting all 8 of his marriages). Keely is celebrating working for me. I’m celebrating just being alive. Charley just wants to hang out with us… which is cool because he’s got the special Cabela’s card.

My last day at the Antler Rendezvous. Everyone knows when I get a lot of alcohol in me I go on a crazy buying spree. That’s just what I did. Bought this stack of whitetail antlers and a whole lot of other stuff I don’t need…..sure did have a good time! For me it’s not about buying antlers but seeing my antler buddies once a year!!!

I am looking for a moose rack while I’m here in Alpine, Wyoming. I brought Charley Every (my newest taxidermy student ) with me in case I need to borrow some money. We’re dealing with Jeff Cody who puts on this Great Western Antler Rendezvous each year. If you’re an antler lover, this is the place to be!!’

More critters gettin’ picked up. John Grubich drove down from Montana to pick up his late season muley. Colorado hunter J.P Modderno is tickled to get his 32 inch velvet buck back that he arrowed in Utah. A few announcements…. I’m definitely going to start taking in less animals this year or I’ll never get caught up and more important… “RETIRE”. I just turned down a lifesize bear that a local killed up in Alaska. I sent him to another taxidermist that I know will do a good job.

Seth Latham Is all smiles after driving up from Texas and laying eyes on his big non-typical archery buck and beautiful color phase black bear. We’re still working on September 2023 critters. September is always a taxidermist’s busiest month as all animal species are hunted with the various weapons (archery, muzzle loading, and rifle).
