  1. I picked up this guy tonight after work. I am extremly pleased on the job. He is 23" and right around 8 lbs. The mount cost me $230. It took me 6 months to get it back because the Taxidermist took on 95 deer this year. Well here he is, what do you think?
  2. Congrats on a great looking doe!!
  3. Yeah, I dont know how to do all of that stuff, I just take the pictures.
  4. well guys I just got back from the dinner. Before the dinner I personally got to meet Coach Boone. We shook hands and got to talk for a minute. What a very geniune, down to earth and sincere person. What I liked the most is when we shook hands he looked me directly in the eye. We had a great meal and heard them speak again. These 2 coaches were really great coaches. Coach Yoast was coach of the year in Alabama and Virginia. Coach boone before he move to virginia compiled a 99-6 record but then the school integrated and was told the integrated school was not ready for a black head coach. How do you go 99-6 and get fired? This was an experience that i will never forget.
  5. Well tonight my girlfriend and I went and seen a couple of speakers. The speakers just happened to be Coach Boone and Coach Yost (sp) from Remember the Titans (the actual coaches). :DIt was really neat to hear them talk about the experiences. Coach Yost is a funny guy and Coach Boone will move you, one of the best public speakers I have heard. It was for remembering Martin Luther King Jr. My girlfriends sister works for the local college and she was the one who set it all up and planned it all. I gave her My Remember the Titans movie so she could get them to sign it for me. Tommorow night we are also going to the dinner they have planned and they will talk some more. It was really awesome to be able to hear the experiences in the past. Just thought I would share.
  6. Glad to hear you guys had fun. You are right, no matter how far away it is always nice to go in the woods and leave all of your troubles behind.
  7. Congrats Eric, glad to hear it. Hope you guys have a great life together.
  8. Thank you. Very much appreciated.
  9. I recently built myself a coffee table out of some scraps that we had laying around the shop at work. I still need to stain it and this is where I need some help. What type of stain should I use? Should I sand it first? The legs and sides are 2x4s. The middle shelf is plywood and the top shelf is 3/4" oak board. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Here are some pics of my table.
  10. Well it has been a while since I have posted some pictures so I thought I would put some of my new ones up. These first two are when I went back to Michigan for New Years. Some deer. A snowy road. Here are some geese. I took this one from my stand last week. and lastly here is an old truck that I found.
  11. This was on our local news. Someone has broke into local taxidermy shops and stole antlers. One set he took from a 14 yr old boy who shot a great buck off his grandpas land. i hope they catch this guy. http://www.kfvs12.com/Global/story.asp?S=7623313&nav=menu51_2_3_1
  12. Congrats, That is gonna be some good eatin.
  13. This sounds like some fun, I will get in.
  14. Congrats on a great hunt, can't wait to see pics of the bad boy. Where in Illinois do you hunt?
  15. The Pats have not impressed me in the last half of the season. Everyone keeps talking about how impressive Bradys stats were. Yes he is a good quarterback (He did come from Michigan ), but all of his passes were little dinks barely thrown past the line of scrimmage so it was like they were constantly running the ball. Their running game impressed me though. At the end of the day the Pats won and that is what counts.
  16. The Pack looked pretty good. I think it will be The Pack and Indy in the super bowl. Oh yeah, Brett Favre is awesome. He still has a couple years left in the tank.
  17. Ok, yeah that would be a rough season. I thought you were talking about competition wise.
  18. Nice fish Shaun, Looks like you are getting a head start on the rest of us.
  19. What kind of season is that? I thought it was a succesfull season if you made the playoffs?
  20. That is one thing that I never did get in college football. One team beats another and the team that lost is still ranked higher. Also, If you play in the National Championship game and lose and you drop to 5th. I believe in any other sport if you lose the championship game the lowest you are ranked is 2nd. With all of that said, It is what it is. PS, Collge Football needs a playoff.
  21. How has everyone been? Hope the new year is going well. I am sad to report that I have no buck tags left. I could not fill my michigan one. All I have left is an Illinois doe tag. I have maybe one day left available to fill that. Did anyone go anywhere or do anything cool for the holidays?
  22. LSU was the better team last night. I did not see a big miss match in the speed like everyone talks about. LSU just simply wanted it more. They outplayed OSU and played more discipline football. Congrats to LSU.
  23. If that is the case, what happened to Florida in the Michigan game?
  24. I stopped by the taxidermist to check on my fish that I had dropped off in july. He told me he will have it done in 2 weeks. I am pretty anxious to see it. The bass was 23" and 7.5 lbs. It is going to be on a floor pedestal, backed by driftwood and the bass is going to be coming up through lilly pads chasing a spinner bait. It cost me $230, not too bad I didn't think. I will post some pics as soon as I pick it up. Just wanted to keep everyone updated.
