congrats on the buck

sorry to hear that, guess you'll just haveta wait and look for buzzards

makes me want to move up north b/c there sure arent many (if any) in sc like that

now thats a monster

nice cat, have you decided how you will mount it?

this will get nonhunters to try their luck, but after they fail b/c they are only in it for the money you wont have to worry. Just hope they dont make a bad name for hunters..

awsome stuff... what did you take the pics with? cellphone? b/c my phone takes awful pic

get a police trade-in glock or sig, the run around 300 or maybe a little more, maybe a little less

i would stick with a real iwb holster instead of some clip, ive never used one, but i wouldn't trust it. I would go with a nice leather iwb, but if your on a budget check out the uncle mikes, they are nice. I use one almost every day and it is very slim for my pm9

in sc i took the class for $60 bucks and the permit cost $50. You send off your application and if you pass the background check, you get a license back in 3 months. The permit is good for 4 yrs.

congrats to the little man, cant wait to see the pics

too bad man, at least you have a pic of him... when most of us miss, we cant remember what it looked like. Hopefully you'll get another shot at that varmint.

In the woods I hunt in i have only seen 1 coyote in 8 yrs. of hunting. This season I have already gotten 4. I got 2 on Halloween morning within about 15 minutes. The first one came out and i dropped her. Then 15 min. later mama come out to see what happened and i got her too. Then this past Sat. just after daylight I had one dancing around the field. I went to shoot him and when i pulled the trigger "click". I forgot to bolt one in before i got in the stand. She looked up at me, but then decided i wasn't that important. I bolted one in and dropped her. Then within 2 minutes another coyote came out and got her as well. Not sure where all these are coming from, but im glad to get them out of the woods, so maybe i can get a buck. I attached pics of the 1st 2 i got, but haven't got around to getting the latest pics off the camera. There is also a pic of the skull mounts when they were partially done.

a European mount is not all that complicated and you can do it yourself. What you do is skin the head out and remove as much meat from the head as you can, this makes the later parts easier. Then when you have removed all the meat you can, cut around where the backbone meets the skull and you can cut or twist the head from the body. Next, take a large pot (filled with enough water to submerge skull) and a propane burner (b/c this can stink up your house). Put the skull in the water and boil it for about 3 hours or until the meat starts to fall off the bone. You can add a little baking soda to the water to make the meat come off easier. After you boil it, let it cool and remove all the meat you can. You also need to get the brain out too. You can take a long screwdriver or coat hanger and get it out. A hose also works well. When you have cleaned the skull as much as you can, soak the skull only in a 2:1 mixture of peroxide and water. Make sure not to get any peroxide on the antlers or it will cause it to discolor. Let the skull soak until it is white enough. I usually soak mine for a few days. Remove the skull from the peroxide and let it dry. The remaining cartilage and meat should be easy to get off once this drys out. All thats left is to put your European on a plaque or however you want to mount it.
