I wouldn't have taken bowhunting so stinking seriously. Now I just have fun like I should have all those years I obsessed about killing a giant.

Haven't logged on in awhile, but I see it's the same end of the world struggles for him. Cmon everyone, let's pray hard so he gets the rain he desires.. Screw everything else in the world, let's hope the good lord makes him happy for a spell. I know many farmers who aren't as depressed as him...

Mostly open with small fingers is all. If I got permission to hunt it not knowing, I might not even go. Don't have a pic, but it doesn't look very good. Goes to show, if you are in a good genetic area you just need a couple trees to do well.

how many have seen an aerial of the main Drury farm? It was surprising to me for sure.

Is the building temp and humidity controlled? If not you will eventually have problems with them degrading.

Sam at Old Barn might have some for sale. http://www.oldbarntaxidermy.com/FDR.html

What a show, we counted 24 best in world titles from people who were in attendance. Great to see some IW members who came to check it out. A list of the winners is here...

75 mounts checked in tonight with another 95 coming tomorrow. There is a life size grizzly bear that is worth the trip alone. Hope that many can come check out the show.

10 Brand new camo arrows with 2 yellow 1 white Balzer vanes. $100 TYD

There will be a life size bear and 2 bear shoulder mounts I know of so far. Usually at least 6 bears to look over. The ones I know of will be top tier work. Also going to be some great African work like wildebeest, bush buck, and zebra for those of you looking at an African trip.

I always encourage hunters to go look at the show. It might just change their perspective on what good work is vs great work. There will be world class taxidermy there which motivates me to keep trying to get to that level. The range of art from amateur to masters will blow you away.

You can register for the show and go to all seminars for $45, pretty good deal for 10+ hours of seminars. Hope you can make it, you will have fun and learn a bunch.

If they were only done. I'll be finishing them up until I enter them. Stupid work has put the crunch on getting show pieces ready.

Ribbons will be on mounts Saturday morning. Open to public Saturday from noon-5 and Sunday 9-noon.

Also a great place to visit for those who don't have a taxidermist. You can see the work you like best and talk to the artist about future business.

For those members who do taxidermy, this is a golden opportunity to learn and get better. Some of the best taxidermists in the world will be there, including our own Joe Meder. I learn the most each year by just talking with other taxidermists and sharing tricks and tips. Your next mount will be...

I have one I want to get rid of cheap.

That mount would be an eye catcher at the ITA show in Marshalltown at the end of the month. Hope to see it there

Oh yes, hookers and blow.. The rest is just details right Nick?

I do it for my out of state guests. Because they guide me when I go see them. No money, just close friends and family
