My opinion is the same. I have spent a lot of money at Cablelas over the years but wouldn't waste my time going in one these days. We have a Bass Pro store in town and the only reason I go there is when someone gives me a gift card. Would much rather have cash and buy things much cheaper from...

Great news. Glad to hear you are recovering. Wow, what an ordeal. I've seen enough of your work on here to know you are an exceptional artist and I'm sure you want to get back to it as soon as you can but take it easy, no stuffed animal is more important than your life. Best of luck to you as...

I was just checking for updates also. I think the fact that Dennis himself has not been able to post anything is not a good sign. I know if I was stuck in a bed due to illness/injury I would be online to pass the time.

Have a master hunter myself. Great knife and has cleaned a lot of game.

That would look amazing! Would love to see it completed and on a wall.

Thanks for the update Nick. Please pass along all our good wishes to him. I have never met your father but enjoy seeing photos of his work. He is an amazing artist.

Good thing about Saskatchewan is the number of color phase bear. First pic is me with another hunter that shot a color phase bear the same day. Second pic is my buddy who literally shot this bear the first hour of the first day hunting.

I hunted Saskatchewan about 4 years ago. I was very happy with the outfitter, saw tons of bears and shot a really nice one. One couple in camp was elderly with the husband suffering from Parkinson's and unable to walk far but they hunted out of blinds and the wife who was the one hunting shot a...

RANCE SAFARIS

You guys have some amazing trophy rooms! I don't have near the number of mounts as most of you and am still waiting on the first of my african mounts. I've just got a few scattered about the house.

White-tailed Deer, Kudu, Gemsbok

Mostly whitetail. I still plan on getting the kudu and gemsbok shoulder mounted.

I got this.

Of course they all taste good when you are in a bush bar celebrating after taking a beautiful zebra stallion with bow and arrow. [emoji16]

While Castle Light is drinkable I much preferred the Carlings.

Funny you mention Yeti. The Dicks here has removed all hunting and fishing gear and the wall where the guns were once displayed is now an entire wall of Yeti cups.

Nice job. I think from all the mounts I have seen that the bobcat is one of the hardest animals to mount. Invariably most taxidermists struggle with the face.

Thanks!

I have a couple of animals back that I just want to do skull mounts on. I assume they have been thoroughly boiled but the skulls are fairly yellow so I assume I need to whiten them and somehow degree them. Can someone give me tips on what to do and what order to do it in. Do you whiten then...

Red Leg, I'll be honest with you., I've never been much of a rug fan. The two bears I shot I did a full body and half body mounts and eveb the zebra I shot I am planning on a pedestal mount rather than a rug. That said I do really like the looks of that wildebeest rug, especially the mane and...

Blue. Not a big deal. I plan on spreading out the taxidermy anyway so I have a lot of time to think about it. Might really enjoy the euro once I see it. If I do go back someday I think I will have a black and another blue on my list.

No, it's not that, I enjoy the euros. I'm just thinking the skull doesn't really give you the idea of just how cool/weird a wildebeest looks. No worries, and I still have the flatskin so I may do something with that. Some of my euros of more local variety...

Thanks for your response. Looks like a euro mount it is.

I recently went on my first safari and shot a few animals. To stay within a reasonable budget I opted to only do shoulder mounts on three and some skull mounts. I'm starting to have some second thoughts. I'm wondering if a taxidermist can tell me the difference in the cuts between when they cape...

The three most important things for success bow hunting in Africa are shot placement, shot placement and shot placement. Look at the shot placement threads on this forum and study the pictures. Aim for the triangle created where the shoulder bones point forward. You don't want to aim behind...

Slick Trick Magnums. I've tried a few different broadheads over the years buy always come back to the Slick Tricks.

More than enough and the Slick Tricks punch nice holes.

I hunted Caribou in Quebec in 2008. It was beautiful country and a fantastic adventure. My first hunt outside the US. It really is sad to hear how much the Caribou population has declined in Quebec in the decade since I hunted there. I hope that the government there can figure things out and...

That's a good sized list. I hunted Africa for the first time last fall with Limcroma, can't say enough good things about them. I only wish I had taken more animsls while I was there, budget be damned. :-)

I just wish I could get my "bullet" traveling faster than 300 fps. [emoji6]

As a Bowhunter I always find it interesting when someone asks if a large caliber rifle is large enough to kill a particular species.

They have a forum dedicated specifically to the 450 Bushmaster, "450bushmaster.net". I'm sure you can get some great information there. Iowa just legalized straight wall cartridge rifles for our gun season (formerly limited to shotguns and muzzle loaders). I looked at the Ruger Range Rifle but...

I just hunted with them this past August. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them.

Very nice mounts and an awesome trophy room setup. Is this an addition onto your home? The only thing I would have to change is I don't think I could get used to those yellow walls.

Should add they have the best prices on 5.56 ammo I could find with free shipping and rebate under 25 cents a round.

I am impressed with their prices. I'm new to AR rifles but bought a complete lower and an upper from them at great prices and am looking forward to shooting it once the deep freeze thaws here up north.
