I recently had two mounts from last season arrive home.
The Red deer I had done in a "roaring" mount and it is a mate for one I had done a while ago.

The second was a "lop sided" Fallow deer.

A couple of photos.

Some very good Reds there. Your trophy room is fabulous.


Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

Thanks mate.

Yes the snake. I bought that skin at a trash and treasure sale in about 1975 for $6. I was going to use in for leather work but could never bring myself to cutting it up.
Glad I kept it now. I think it is a anaconda. Anyway it looks OK on the wall now.

Thanks. .

I have been on a lot of elk hunts in the states. However, never hunted a stag. Looks like fun!

Mostly but the roaring red deer are sitting on olive.

Here a couple of pedestals I made from native Red Gum tree roots.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

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......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
