bo-n-aroVery nice indeed!
Who in Texas does your taxidermy work?
Who is the accomplished rodeo rider??

PeglegDid you buy the belt buckles or win them?

silwaneI use Conroe Taxidermy, Mike and his sons Barrett, and Travis Simpson for my mounts. Barrett is a good friend of mine since college, and they always do good work for me in a very reasonable time frame.
As far as the rodeo goes, I am the culprit there. To answer the other question I guess if you really analyze it, in a roundabout way I probably did buy those buckles.
A guy spends a lot of money in this sport to just have the chance to win money, sometimes it dosent pan out, sometimes it does.

L. David KeithVery nice trophies. You'll have to come on down to Argentina with us next year and add a SA Buffalo. If you get a chance, check out the bull my PH photographed in Australia recently. On my web site, click on Australia and scroll down a little. It is the largest I've ever seen and is still living in the Arnhemland concession of Australia. Good hunting our your hunts this year, David

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

BOWHUNRVery nice collection. Used to ride a little bareback myself, although just a weekend warrior in M-SRA events. Had to give it up when I hit thirty as things don't seem to heal as fast LOL. Still a big fan though. If I'm not mistaken that's an NFR Champion saddle? Any chance your initials are J.J.?

They are all great trophies but the leopard beats them all by the way it is displayed.

Mary Hilliard-KruegerVery nice collection! Your rich, warm wall colors really provide an excellent background to display your mounts. The skulls and wall hangers are a nice touch for your 'dogs'. Very impressive work and set-up.
Kind regards,

Thanks Wendell
All but one of those deer came from the Texas Panhandle. I see you have a ranch there, that produces some great deer also. Where are you at? We are around Boone Pickens place near the river.
