That was a good write up Tony. I too went thru some of the things you experienced and can relate quite well. Jeff Sievers was my taxidermist until his death and a very sad tragedy. I don't have alot of mounts stuffed but what Jeff did still looks better than some recent mounts I've had done. Hopefully your advise will pay off for a few members on here. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "we are very fortunate to have you as a member with the knowledge you have to share". TJ

Nice looking. Now where did you send them or did you have a taxi. send them in for ya? How much did they cost to have done? I still have a lion I'm thinking about having it done the same way. Thanks! TJ

Not sure yet. My work has really been crazy. If I can be of some help just let me know. The more hours you sit the better your odds are that something will walk in. This has been my experience. PATIENCE

I'm not sure I'm the right TJ but if I am that is very flattering. I have helped a few guys over the years and thanks for the kinds words. I take great pleasure helping and forwarding on my experiences and hope it helps to some degree. All I want to do is help someone be successesful in harvesting an animal. Coues4ever............Not sure who you are, but thanks for the kind words. TJ

Just got a call from my brother and found out a friend f mine will be fishing the tournement. My money's on him. Steve Auston and his partner. Wish I didn't have to work. Good luck everyone. TJ

Good to see ya back on here Troy. Hope the rest of the family is doing fine. Where ya been? TJ

Happy Birthday Clay and hope this day brings all the joy a person can stand. TJ

My thoughts exactly and I've never been there but have the pictures to feel the same way. I was just thinking the other day that Scott hadn't posted any recent pictures and now I have my fix. Thanks Scott! TJ

Congratulations to the hunter and the Mullins gang. You guys amaze me with the bulls you get your clients on. Hard work no doubt. TJ

Thoughts and prayers for your niece and all the other families that are going thru this terrible time. TJ

I can't for the life of me kill a bobcat. I shot everything but a big horn and a bob cat. I got 3 lions, without guides, and would love to get a bob cat. Oh well! TJ

If I ever get to Young I would like to stop in and say hi. Your work looks great and thanks for being a sponsor here on cwt. TJ

I've never been to Alaska but have always dreamed of going someday. I could carry your luggage next time at no additional cost to you. TJ

How fortunate we are to have Tony and Bill here on this site. I mean that seriously. They both are an encyclepedia at our disposal. Thanks guys for being part of cwt. TJ

Peg and I had lunch with Mr. Quimby while we were camped at Big Lake. We drove down and met him at the FrostyBottom Cafe, which I highly recommend if you're ever in Greer. It's located just in front of the Quacker Barrel Antique Shop and has excellent sandwiches and great milkshakes. After lunch Bill invited us back to his cabin where we enjoyed listening to some of Bill's tales of Africa. It definitelly was the highlight of our trip to the White Mountains. Peg and I got a couple pictures with Bill and his book "Sixety Years A Hunter" and thought I would share them with you. Before we said our good-byes, Bill graciously gave Peg and I a gift of one of his many books. Peg was so excited that he wrote her name before mine when signing it. This book he co-wrote called "Memories from Greer" and can be found in the Greer library. It was an honor to have met Bill. Thanks Bill for the book, we value highly, and we appreciated you taking the time to spend with us. It was a great visit. This is a little late due to the fact I couldn't figure how to get the pictures on here. Peg and I spent 11 days at Big Lake, over the 4th, and it was one of the most relaxing trips I've ever taken. Slepted in everyday and never hit the water before noon. We caught just enough for a fish taco dinner one night. It was high 40s at night and one hot day of 72. Our new puppy, Lexie, ate some mushrooms and got pretty sick for a few days. Crapped all over the trailer and kepted us busy for two days picking up after her. We found Coach's camp, Jason, but his wife said he was over at the shoot. After taking pictures with Bill we never took another picture the whole trip. Never even thought about it. That's how laid back we were. "Sixety Years A Hunter" is a very interesting book. A must read. Peg doesn't know when she ever met anyone as interesting as Bill. TJ

Welcome to the site Tanner. Do you know others who are members or did you just happen upon cwt.com by yourself? We would love to see some hunt and fishing pictures. Welcome young man! TJ

This is a good topic for everyone. Whether your mounts are new or old it can happen and ruin a great looking animal. I had two beautiful mallard ducks mounted together. Then one day my wife was cleanig and said where are these bugs coming from. It was to late by then. The ducks fell apart as we picked them up. On the other hand I have a quail that is over 30yrs okd that still looks good. Now that this post has come up I will debug my mounts. Thanks for posting and a reminder for me to get off my butt and get it done. TJ

Great pics Brent. You're in a better place than I am that's for sure. One of these days I'm heading north. Keep the pictures coming. Take care! TJ
