Nothing beats time with family...unless it's time with family while killing something. Congratulations on a successful hunt!

What a frame. Congratulations.

Sent you a PM

That's a lot of buck!

When will you be here?

I think the PC police jumped the shark on this one. We'll see. I also believe A and E needs Phil Robertson a lot more than Phil Robertson needs A and E.

Very nice.

Great find! Looks 100+ to me too.

Let's see them!

Love it!

That buck has character to spare!

Great stuff Tyler, you are a very fortunate man!

My wife is tolerant of the mounts in the living room, but she may have crossed the line a bit this year. Hopefully no little kids will get too upset.

Great buck, congratulations to your wife for knocking him down.

I was so upset I went and sat on Santa's lap and asked him to fix the site.

Wow, what a great buck. That is a guess the score contest waiting to happen!

It took me five bottles (bigger container) and I soaked it for about 24 hours then rinsed it in hot water in the sink and still had a lot of fatty oils coming out of the skull so I put it back in a have been soaking it since Friday and just took it out. It is fairly white but I just put it into a sink of very hot water and am still getting quite a bit of greasy oil eminateing out of it. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/44436-european-mount-help/ Soak it over night in a very strong water/dawn dish soap mixture. You will be amazed at how much grease comes out. This will also avoid yellowing in the future.

The family that hunts together stays together! Congratulations on your kids success.

Nice buck, great shot!

Good luck. The cool weather seems to have kicked up the activity level a little bit around here. Keep us posted. I have four friends who will be down here from the valley for that hunt. They will hunt the weekend then off and on the rest of the hunt. It will give me an excuse to get out and help them...always a good time!

Very nice bucks, congratulations!

I was fortunate enough to spend Thanksgiving weekend in elk camp with my son Garrett and several friends. There were 5 tags in camp and they killed 4 bulls on Friday morning. Garrett has been scouting the area hard for some time now. He had several bulls on his hit list. All the hunters left camp on foot at 4:30 Friday morning and hiked into the "spot". The rest of us set up glass high above to watch the show. Garrett spotted his bull early and waited for shooting light. Two shots later and his elk was down. This was a great hunt with a great bunch of friends. A couple of them brought horses which made a very long pack out much easier.

Wow, you guys were sure in the big boys!

Congratulation. That should help out the freezer.
