If you've thought of hunting Australia these are the guys, and if you haven't, you should.

As you guys know, every year starting at the end of October or first of November I take off a week or ten days and bowhunt. This year is no different. I will be out of the shop from the 4th to the 11th or so. I won't be in AT ALL those days. I will be taking a limited number of deer, but If you have a deer you want me to mount, and you are capable of getting it caped and in a freezer, you can call me and leave a message or a text. I'll will call you back when I can, and we can get you in the book. I have zero space in my freezers but we can make an appointment for you to bring it in after fi****ms season. Thank you guys.

Lifesize mounts are a lot of work. This is day 2 of just getting the skin on and sewing. 2 of us worked 12 hours on it yesterday, and that doesn't count the time spent splitting, turning and fleshing the hide before sending it to the tannery, prep and repair work on the skin after tanning, form alterations or prep work on the form, paint and finish work, base and habitat work etc. That's just mounting time.

I have to say, mounting these 2 locked together deer has not been all that much fun, they're tight, and there ain't much room to get that skin in there lol. But one of them is mounted, the second one will be even trickier lol

The other night at our 40 year class reunion I was telling some of my old classmates about the time I was in Africa and I pulled a Python out of a bush by his tail, but I couldn't find the picture. I don't think they believed me lol, but I finally found the picture, so here's the proof. I might not be very smart, but I'm not a liar🤣🤣🤣🤣

Back to the grind

In a little over a week I'll be headed to Australia to hunt Buffalo and Banteng. My wife will be running the shop while I'm gone. It's become a tradition for me to take a knife Ive made with the tools I have, and trade it for something an Aboriginal has made with the tools he has. The knife is finished, the sheath still needs to be dyed and oiled.
