wtnhunt Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Looks real good Ben. Never saw the yote hide in any of your other pics, looks good too. Seems I remember you killed a bobcat a few years ago, you have it tanned out too? Don't think my bobcat is ever gonna be done, taxidermist has had it for over 2 years.

92xj Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 4th picture.....is that a Jersey calf or Border Collie tanned hide? Looking good. It's a mexican cow given to me last year. Not sure of any of its details and not sure I really want to know... Looks real good Ben. Never saw the yote hide in any of your other pics, looks good too. Seems I remember you killed a bobcat a few years ago, you have it tanned out too? Don't think my bobcat is ever gonna be done, taxidermist has had it for over 2 years. I did kill one, a baby, but had nice coloring. I was deer hunting and nailed her at 150 yard in the shoulder, a little farther forward than I wanted and it left a softball size hole in her. I skinned and dried it myself so the hide part turned out bad and is still moist after 3 years. I have it hanging in my carage because it still will leave a damp spot on the wall. I killed it back in South Carolina before moving out here and finding a good taxidermist and having the funds to actually do something with it. If I could go back in time she will be full body mounted with the exit hole side to the wall. Hopefully some day I will get another chance at them. But it won't be in this state.

Adjam5 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Looking great Ben...Not even a HINT of girliness there . If you put the antlers on that wall above them. You could free up some more space for a few more mounts. Motivation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 On the last picture is that a wolf or coyote. Yote. I was out hunting down some railroad tracks. Saw some quail about 110 yards away so I slowly started stalking them. Heard a train coming on fast. They travel around 63mphs on this track so I knew I didnt have much time. The train was loud and the birds were eating. I started to run. I got to within 40 yards of them, train right beside me, threw the gun up on my shoulder, train horn screaming, birds take flight and all of a sudden this yote jumps from the other side of the tracks in front of the train towards the quail. Train hits yote, kills him dead, quail find safety in brush, I pick up yote and skin him out. Not a single scratch, cut or hole on him. Came home with 3 rabbits, a yote, cow skull, 2 ducks and a crazy memory. Not a bad day duck hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
