Who remembers this?

I caped out my buck for you. Never ceases to amaze me !!

11/26/2022

They definitely were the good old days.

I grew up deer hunting with no cell camera or cellphone.

I climbed up in a wooden latter stand made by my dad.

You shot the first buck you seen , be it a spike or 8 point.

There was no ”target buck”. No social media shaming.

You drug it out by hand unless you were rich enough to afford a 3 wheeler.

You took it usually to a country store and checked it in.

Always some old hunters gathered around the tailgate congratulating you.

Those were some of the best days I ever had!

I feel sorry for the ppl who will never experience this.

A new law that was recently passed in Pennsylvania states that you can now face jail time if you leave your dog alone outside in the cold weather and snow. Here’s what we know so far…

Elon Musk has had a lot of positive press this year, but one Tesla owner is making sure the world knows how infuriated he is with the CEO.

How it should be!

Dairy farms in New York have made the generous decision to donate their unsold milk to the less fortunate rather than dumping their gallons of leftovers. Keep scrolling to find out more…

We are very sorry to make this announcement and for any inconviences in the past with our tan only animals. We will no longer be doing any soft tan animals. We had been debating this issue and closing this part of our business offers for awhile, but due to the fact that these animals are fully out of our control after we process and salt them we cannot control long wait times, the possibility of lost or damaged animals and unfortunately this looks bad on our business. We will continue doing rugs and all mounts, but can no longer except any tan only or soft tan animals of any kind. Any animals that we currently have for tanning will still be done. We apologize for any inconvenience and we always try to make up for any issues with tanning with discounts etc and taking the personal loss of time and money to try and insure the happiness of our customers. We would also like to address our recent bad review in saying that the customer was given his soft tan and his money back due to the long wait time and damage; that again was out of our control. We are very understanding, but unfortunately this bad review needed to be addressed as we did everything we could to make up for the inconveniences that we’re out of our control and do right by our customer. We value everyone of our customers and strive to treat every animal as if it was our own. Our goal is to make all our customers happy and give them the best quality we can. We hope that everyone can understand our decision moving forward.

God Bless
Jimmy and McKenzie
