Although the story of a big buck never truly ends, as long as we keep telling it's story. This is my buck from last year, it's come full circle in a way. We finished his mount today I'm super happy with the way he turned out. Jeff did a great job on the mount and I finished him with a McKenzie Taxidermy Supply habitat. I think the habitat lends so much to the story as there was so much snow on that hunt. I Knick-named this guy "Lucky 7", he was lucky in that he eluded hunters till late in the muzzleloader season when I caught up to him with my bow. Not so lucky that he had broke his 7 point rack and became a 6, so maybe he should be "Unlucky 6"! Either way, he's a cool buck and I'm blessed that I got to harvest him!

This Guy! Wow! Red stags are super cool! We did this one on a wall pedestal form from McKenzie Taxidermy Supply and it really turned out nice. Can't wait for our client to get here and see it in person. It'll be hard for him to come up with a better trophy than this guy!

I just wrote an article for SCI's Hunter magazine about our Iguana hunt. I'm excited to see it once it's published!

Classic! This buck represents a classic mounted buck. We mounted him on a McKenzie Taxidermy Supply 6900 semi sneak form. This has been our top selling pose for a few years now. We like it because most hides fit it very nicely. It has a proper brisket and shows some leg along with an offset shoulder. Those features really help to bring it to life! Will you be choosing this pose on your big buck this year? Or do you have your eyes on a different look?

We just mounted this nice buck for Brian Cornell, pictured here with his son and the mount. Brian and his wife Raelyn own Three Fold Leather. They're company rebinds bibles, which is pretty cool! If you have an old or new bible and you'd like a new leather cover on it, they do that. I attached a copy of their business card, so go check them out. Tell them Jay sent you!
