WildHeritageTaxidermy Report post Posted June 8, 2011 Don't think I should post my entries on this site before the judging. The judge may frequent this site. Sorry, I'll post everything after judging. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkaholic Report post Posted June 11, 2011 hopefully somebody will post a few pics. my camera had dead batteries. I took time to stop in and check out all the mounts. Very Impressive! QUite a few looked like twins -so too speak - same forms - styles etc. I know experience really showed on the few which stoood out - to me anyway. You could tell they put a lot of effert into little details! Chris's bobcat was unique ! Dale's cats were - SUPER-AWESUME !! Rick's mounts all looked great! To me cats are one of the hardest and Dale did an exceptional job! BUT his little yote was something special to look at! Our hockey teams ought to look into using/ buying it - would make the perfect promotional item! Experience really shined at the show- but there are a lot of up and comin young guys who do great work - the older guys are getting a run for there money. hope to be at the one next yr. Gary it was nice to meet Dale and his wife- I missed Chris and always cool to chat with Rick and his wife and family --- great show! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted June 13, 2011 First of all congratulations to Hunter on his first piece of work. That squirrel looks awesome and I just might have him do one for me. Congratulations on all your mounts as well. I need to get to Young and check out your place. Thanks for sharing and thanks for sharing your work. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
