    Tannery/Taxidermist in AZ

    Did you ever find a place to tan hide? Did you get cow elk in the ground? I do tan hides by hand out of Colorado. If interested pm me elk are hard to do by hand but just finished a bull for a guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Skunk stank on coyote

    One more thing they don’t just tangle with skunks they eat them. We where coyote hunting moving positions and smelled skunk and found the smell as a coyote was trotting away from a culvert with a skunk in its mouth. Would have shot it but did have permission to hunt the land it was on. If you...

    Skunk stank on coyote

    Peroxide,dish soap and backing powder is the best. When I tan skunk hides it takes the smell out of skunks badgers, mink, coyote’s. Elk in the rut can be very stinky and need to be washed in the mix also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rabies vaccination

    The direct exposure was the reason for the eight shots. 4 for direct exposure and the other four to set me on course for regular booster shots every two years. Luckily my insurance covered it all. I did ask the pharmacy what each shot would cost and they said $400. Which I feel is ridiculous...

    Rabies vaccination

    Just wanted to put this out since I just got done with my vaccination. We where predator hunting last weekend and shot a coyote. Driving to another stand we saw another coyote carrying a skunk. We stopped at stop sign and it smelled like he just killed it. Two weeks before this I shot a skunk...

    Mules for hunting in the east

    You could not have said that better. Saddle back and tack that fits. There is nothing like a uncomfortable mule also. Bad fitting tack is like to small of boots for us. Way to say it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mules for hunting in the east

    Stronger than horses. People say stubborn but it’s the fact they think before they just react to the rider. My favorite mule is a mix of walker and draft she has three speeds of walk. We hunt out west here in Colorado. Rocky terrain no shoes. We went for a ride about 4 weeks ago and a man on a...

    Saddle pads.......

    Felt pads work great. Make sure you have your horse or mule in shape before season. An out of shape animal gets sore and even the best fitting saddle will slip sideways. If they are sore. As for neoprene. I would only use a neoprene cinch if my animal has thin skin. I had a big Aran that I would...

    2019 4X4Muledeer “DUCK “

    Nice I’ve heard of doe deer with antlers never seen it what a cool trophy. Even female elk can grow antlers but I’ve not seen that either. I think it’s very cool and rules do allow for this as a buck or antlered deer in Colorado even though it’s a female. Congrats Sent from my iPhone using...

    Best wild game meat

    Try that turkey in a marinade. Just the breast meat in small squares. Then shish kabobs. I harvested a young black bear and was very pleased with the snack sticks I made out of it with my mule deer. I wanted all my girls to eat it and they loved the snack sticks. The bear is very tender no game...
