Here is the first buck that I ever harvested. I was 15...back in 1991, taken the second day of the first shotgun season at 2:30. He was with 2 does and a small forkhorn..(these were the first deer I ever saw deer hunting), so basically he was the first buck I ever saw in the woods deer hunting. Needless to say, I was ruined after that forever.
Another view..
I know these aren't deer photos, but since we've moved back from AK, this is the first time I've had my "trophy room" all together. I can't wait to buy a house this spring and expand my wall space a little! 8 feet nose to tail...he barely fit on the wall!!
On the next wall...
On the third wall...my first bow kill. He is just a little guy, but with the sneak pose, he looks pretty cool.
Downstairs..this was a gift from the taxidermist I worked for in Alaska. A 7 foot wolf rug...even though I didn't harvest it, I did all the taxidermy work on it from start to finish. I think it's the coolest part of my collection.
I haven't been able to show any of my collection to anyone except Bushman, hope you all don't mind.
