Have H4350, H1000, IMR4831 on hand. Anyone have any loads for the 147 ELD in the 6.5-284? Mine is 23" and I...

    Macerated a bull elk skull

    I do a few of these each fall. Skinned it out, removed the brain with a new pressure hose fitting I bought, removed eyes, trimmed well and placed in 90 degree tub. After 6 days removed, and hosed off with just the hose and garden sprayer. Then soaked in warm dawn water, replacing water 3 times...

    Antler staining tip here.

    I stumbled on what appears to be a common solution for staining antlers and sheds. I am always looking for ways to improve on skull cleaning and antler care. Had a velvet mule deer come in and the velvet was coming loose, pretty much falling off. So I cleaned the skulled and talked to the owner...

    How many rings do you count on this mount?

    Just got done shooting a bit this am and walked by this ram mount again. Due to how much brooming he did, the age estimates varied wildly on him. I tried to take clear pics of both sides showing the area that causes the most back and forth. What do you serious ram guys see for growth rings on...

    Bighorn Mount has arrived

    Taxidermist texted me that the August archery ram from last year was done. I felt like this form showed his good side nicely. His busted and broomed side is visible as well. Barring getting lucky and drawing a desert tag, I'll be done with two archery bighorns and am not complaining.

    Sheep success rate in your area or state

    I was curious about success rates on bighorn sheep(both ewes and rams) in Colorado. Looked it up and last year the archery success was 40% and the rifle success was 66%. Pretty high really. I'd be curious about success rates on Stones and Dalls either guided or unguided. Any input from Alaska...

    McMillan McWalnut

    Have a few camo, painted, and swirly McMillans and like all of them. Decided to get a look at the McWalnut for a lefty 700 long action. Thinking its worthy of a build of some type now. Another option if you are looking for synthetic with a wood look.

    Skull cleaning preference question

    I've been cleaning a few skulls the last few years for friends and family. Using maceration, a slow stinky process, it preserves all the fine nasal bones and causes no structural damage to the skulls. I always kind of liked seeing the little nasal bones intact. Now have been studying up more...
