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.

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!
