This photo is of my trophy room. Yes, I mounted them all in my shop. price $450. Don't use this guy! Apparently, his shop is way too hot and the horns melt off the antelope!!! JK, awesome bucks. I love those character bucks. I would shoot those in a heartbeat. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SEEKER Report post Posted July 23, 2019 `J down & Bone collector , It takes more than desire to make -wild -life trophies, come back to life, even better than (alive) Those mounts have been mounted over 25 years. I've never put one of my mounts in -a talent contest. I was raised (way back in the sticks) ; We did live off the land. Everything. No electric, running water& it was a long dash to the toilet- no matter what the weather. But we thought that we were really well -off ,and depended upon no one. We were really self sufficient, except for salt & coffee. I was a ( go get m) boy . At 9 I took over my dads trap line; Became the richest boy in East Tenn.This story -goes on & on... But that's how I got into Taxidermy. The animals I was catching was worth more to me than the fur buyers were paying me. So... I've been doing Taxidermy 70 years +. Never gets old: Each one is a brand new challenge , to see just how close -that i can come to making it as good as in real -life. Now * you know why- that I do it. For sure - not the $$$$$$$$; I have more than I need . When one is 82,,, It,s younger women, older whiskey,faster BOWS & BIGGER BULLS. The ole Seeker said all that! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEEKER Report post Posted July 24, 2019 Thanks -all of you, for the appreciated statements. I was drawn this Sept. ,Bull -11 M first hunt.. My problem- at 82 is; I will not be - hunting high in the peaks, releasing my arrow into that Record bull. But with a little assistance from you- & you current knowledge of the area, and my archery skill , should put Elk steaks on our plates. I would be much in obliged to you... I do love elk meat; But my Dr. Oncologist said ; I should go - very light on it. It will be in abundance. I'm here in Tucson- the past 41 yrs. Retired, enjoying the Great outdoors ! Note- I passed on this bull. Yes! I Mounted my tag! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SEEKER Report post Posted August 3, 2019 Nice antelope. I would estimate his score to be 80. * Note Look at the eye & ears on the antelope (above & below .. Mounted by SEEKER..) . The eyes & ears establishes the the projection (Mood) --VERY ALERT AND AWARE OF THE SITUATION--- OR TOTALLY RELAXED & HALF ASLEEP. GUESS THAT IS OK -- IT,S CALLED PREFERENCE.

yotebuster Report post Posted August 4, 2019 Clay Goldman in Payson is the only guy I’d take anything to. He is an exceptional artist. With taxidermy it seems like they either “got it” or they don’t. I’ve always been amazed at the terrible work people let taxidermists get away with...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
