Grugle Report post Posted September 19, 2021 Congratulations Craig , sounds like you put the time and effort in and were rewarded with a trophy buck ! Thanks for posting your story it was nice to get a real perspective for future hunters looking to have success in those areas and on those specific hunts ! Antelope tags are so few and far between in Arizona it was nice that you took the time to share your hunt with us ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Code3 Report post Posted September 27, 2021 Thank you for all the supportive & congratulatory comments before/after the hunt. I will post a 1/2 size taxidermy when Authentic Taxidermy, LLC is done. Troy Smith, owner, seems easy to work with and showed me pictures of his own 1/2 size Pronghorn before deciding to take it to him, plus he was local. Additionally, he was recommended by a friend in the hunt video as competently skilled with big game. On to more AZ Spring Turkeys...🍻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdown Report post Posted September 27, 2021 Troy has done several things for us including 3 goats - he is without question the best I have worked with - both him and his work. I've posted a few things on the Taxidermy page here over the years recommending him. Worth the drive from the valley for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
