Broc's Giant Velvet Coues

Beams, beams and more beams.  Here are some photos of the the big velvet buck Broc B. took last year with the auction Coues tag.  He has double main beams on the right and quadruple main beams on the left. 

Safari mounts

Here are a few mounts we finished recently for Michael B. and Charles W.   They both went to Africa together and had a great trip, taking many of the animals with their bows.

Velvet and a hard horned deer

Here are some velvet bucks and a hard horned buck that I recently finished up.  The hard horned mule deer was taken in central AZ by a junior hunter from Mississippi.  It is crated and shipping out tomorrow for its new home.  He is 32" wide and grosses 185; a super buck for this area.

Rhino

Here is white rhino I mounted for a client.  He went to Africa and took his dangerous seven all on the same hunt.  Mounting an animal the size of Volkswagen sure is far cry from working on our little coues deer from here.

Antelope, Coues and Mule Deer

Here are some recent mounts I finished.  The double Coues pedestal belongs to Shane R.  and he harvested both of these bucks in Mexico on the same trip.  The shoulder mount coues and mule deer were taken by Colby S. in Sonora on the same trip.  The Javelina belongs to Sean W. and was taken in unit 23.  The Antelope were taken by Kurt S.and his wife in New Mexico.

 

A Couple of Pieces Finished

Here is a pedestal we did of a great coues buck taken by Waylon Pettet of Arizona Groundpounders. Waylon's buck grosses in the mid 120s.   The lion was taken by Matthew Phillips while hunting with the Arizona Groundpounder crew.

Mexico 2014

Here are some photos of our most recent annual jaunt to Sonora this year for Coues deer.  The weather was warm and the moon was big which is not a good combination for hunting deer. Our group was still able to harvest some nice bucks.  Our leases were pretty dry this year with deer numbers down quite a bit.  Even with the tough hunting conditions everyone had a great time.  We even had 12 Goulds's gobblers walk across the road in front of us one evening.  Thanks to Bob D. for the great cooking and to Pat H., Hunter H., Houston D., Rob M., Richard K., Tim R., Earl L, Bill G. and Cole G. for he good times.

Big Archery Desert Mule Deer

Here is a great mule deer that Ryan D. harvested last archery season in the southwest Arizona desert.  He took some neat photos of the buck prior to harvesting him.  Ryan has also taken some great desert bucks with his rifle.  Thanks Ryan for letting me mount your buck for you.

Mountain Lions

Here are a couple of mountain lions that we just finished up.  The open mouth snarling lion was taken by a hunter while out predator calling in 6A.  The other lion was taken in Southern Arizona with hounds.

Hunter's MX coues deer and a couple Sonoran Muleys

Here is a Hunter H.'s coues buck he took on our hunt in Mexico in January.  The official score for his Coues is 116 3/8 Gross and 113 4/8 net Boone and Crockett.  The two mule deer were taken by Jeff V. last season in Mexico as well.  Pretty good mule deer double for Jeff.
