I shot my first elk, a cow tag, in 1978. I shot it in the head so there are no holes in the hide. I had the hide tanned with the hair on and I still have it. I have displayed the hide a variety of ways. Right now, it's draped over the back of a leather couch, in the game room.

Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.
