Hyena, Bontebok and Aoudad

Here are a few more mounts that we recently finished up.  The Hyena was taken by Alan H. and the Bontebok was taken by Wes B.; both trophies are from Africa.  The Aoudad was taken by Mike H. on a West Texas hunt.

World Record Muzzloader Pronghorn

Here is a teaser for those getting ready for their upcoming antelope hunts.  This is a buck I mounted from the past season in Arizona.  He is the pending world record with a muzzleloader at 94 4/8.  Both horns are over 18" with good mass and prongs. Customer Jeff E. located this buck during preseason scouting and was lucky enough to harvest him when the season rolled around.  Jeff sent me some live photos of the buck he took during his scouting and we were a long ways off on guessing what he measured.  It is always good to have them grow when you walk up on them.

Bomber Velvet Coues

Here is a super buck taken by last year's auction coues hunter Phillip B.  Phillip was hunting with Arizona Ground Pounders when he took this giant.  They have photos of this buck for the past few years and were finally able to put eyes on him and harvest him.  I personally ran a rough tape on him and got over 146" gross and he was officially scored SCI at over 147". 

Some recent completions

Here are a few mounts that recently left the shop.  The elk was taken by Justin R. with his muzzleloader and grosses over 390".

120" Coues and a Double Coues Pedestal

Here is a 120" buck taken last year in Sonora, MX by Buck L.  Buck was hunting with Jason Sherwood of High Desert Outfitters.  The other bucks were taken by a father/son duo in Sonora, MX and they hunted with Goodman Outfitters.

 

 

Brown Bear Double

We recently finished these two brown bears for brothers Brian R. and Chad R.  They were taken a year apart in coastal Alaska.  Both are very large bears.  I delivered them to Gila Outdoor in Thatcher, AZ where they will be on display.  Gila Outdoor has a large selection of hunting, archery and shooting equipment as well as a big indoor archery range.  Stop by and see their big display of huge mule deer and other trophies if you get down that way.  You can also order online from their website, so next time you need something outdoor or hunting related, check them out.

 

Mexico 2015

Our group went to a new ranch this year in Sonora and harvested some nice deer.  We ended up with deer that measured 113, 112, two 107s, 95 and 90.  It was a lot of fun with a good group of friends.  My dad had a tag and ended up giving it to his grandson due to a knee problem and not being able to get around.  I attached a photo of Dad and Gage with his last day buck. 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple of nice bucks.  The buck with the habitat was taken by Brady M.  while hunting With Colburn and Scott Outfitters in Sonora, MX.  He was taken with archery equipment and his gross score is 118 2/8 with a net of 110 1/8. Brady's buck has been invited to the Pope and Young Panel and Convention that will be held in Phoenix this year.  The other buck was taken by Jason H., founder of Kuiu.  He also hunted with Jay Scott and Darr Colburn in Sonora Mexico. 

Some Nontypical Coues Bucks
