Az_Outdoors Report post Posted June 12, 2010 I seen you did very well at the show. I just wanted to comment on how nice your work looked. All the attention to detail is very noticable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outdoor Writer Report post Posted June 13, 2010 I was there about 2 p.m. and the place was about deserted. I only hung around about 15 mins. because that's about all it took to see everything. This was the first time I attended one of the shows. Don't know why, but I expected to see a lot more mounts on display. That said, congrats on your awards. I liked both the bear and the lion. Many of the others had only the ribbons but no indication who did the work. So if you had more, congrats on them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 13, 2010 Awesome! Congratulations on doing so well at the show! As a reminder to everyone, Dale entered the work he did for his clients, not just stuff he did special for the competition. To me that makes it even more special. And glad you enjoyed it and got some useful advice from the judge that can help improve your work even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
