RE: Finally, got my mounts back!!
Excellent mounts man. Congrats on some fine looking deer. JerseyJoe my wife has finally thrown in the towel on the "hunting fishing" room. It used to be 50/50 office and sport room. I finally ran her out!!! And I'd love to hunt with Il Bow Man and put another one like those on the wall.

RE: Finally, got my mounts back!!
They look great. I don't get to start hunting deer untill september. I have the biggest itch to go out into the woods, and I still have to wait 7 more months. It will be my first time ever hunting. The only problem I run into is, my wife despises hunting, and said there is no way I'll get a deer mounted to hang in our house. It's hard to find a big deer like that in Jersey, but I'll tell you what...I get one as big as your whitetail....it will be hung!!

Beautiful mounts!! price should never be a consideration when getting a really nice animal mounted!
A friend got a really good buck last year, actually the best deer anyone I know has taken. He was shopping around and I told him not to go to a certain taxidermist, after telling him the problems I had with mine. Needless to say he was being his usual cheap self and decided to save $50,, the ears are splitting, the eyes are bugged out and hes upset with the quality,, I told him so!!

Lady, the taxidermist is Emkens's Taxidermy, Inc. He is way over in Yates City. That is a 2 hour haul for me, so it would be even longer for you!! He is a tad bit west of peoria. Hopefully I will get a new cover for my air return this weekend and that will make the mounts look even better.
Hey jersey, I don't know what they call that pose, but I like them very much too.
