No AZ elk draw but getting closer
Was a bit down that I did not draw NM but with the points adding up looking good. Hate it when my hunting bud / outfitter sends me pictures of these bulls living or killed less than 2 miles from his house.- Thumper007

Looks like my New Mexico mule deer will be ready
Well folks my taxidermist sent me a picture of my 2018 NM mule deer and said will be ready before I get home. They are waiting to finish out and paint. This was my second to break 200 and officially scored 214 and change. Now I got to break 220 on a buck and 365 on an elk. No joy on the AZ...- Thumper007

Sucks being stuck overseas
I know we are a hunting forum and outside of fishing or running charters I would rather be hunting. Hence the reason I got into buying other boats and chartering fishing trips was to support my hunting habit and pay the taxidermist. 🤬 Sucks as I was supposed to leave last week for 60 days to run...- Thumper007

Don’t laugh but I am swear by Swarovski optics. Austrian made only. I also like the Night force but have only one. The best deals I have ever ran across on Swarovski optics have been I eBay during the summer. I know many fakes are out there. But the deal with Swarovski is the lifetime...- Thumper007

These are Del Camron hounds.
Bcat started me on these Camron hounds. I read the book about the breed, saw his in action and tried one myself. I think I said I have had a few duds. Looking at the Camron what’s your thoughts? To me first thing was blue tick cross.- Thumper007

This is why I love walkers on lion. Picture says it all.
As they say a picture says a thousand words. Hence when I am trying to make a pack that covers ground in snow I go with walker. Dry ground I will stick with a mix for my best strike dogs. Even though I been making and breaking coon, lion, bear and even deer hounds 40 odd years I learn with each...- Thumper007

Suggestions for a new pack
I love my Blackhawk pack for hauling in loads of base camp. Tons of storage, durable and fits the body. Looking at other options for a musk ox and caribou hunt. My day pack is great, but on this trip, I will be going to hunt tundra and mountains so it needs to be light to carry day in and out...- Thumper007

Musk ox Oder?
I have a great chance for a must ox caribe combo in September. Posted the question on taxidermy site but no response. If tanned properly, would a full body musk ox mount have a smell? I ask as I shot a Corsican and Spanish goat ran in NZ and even with a wet tan they hang in my barn today. I did...- Thumper007

Swapping hunts. A lost art.
From living and working overseas for more years than I really want to admit, I accumulated 1.3 million frequent flyer miles. The truth is as much as I have to fly for work the last thing I really want to do on my off time is travel. One day the idea came to me was I would never use the miles on...- Thumper007
