Awesome. I used to hunt 'blues quite a bit on BLM land just east and a little south of Artesia. Excellent little diner there with great chicken fried steak.
The way life should be.

Congratulations to the Missus. They make a great shoulder mount. I've got a gemsbok on my wall and you need a tall ceiling but they are a beautiful mount. PM me if you want a picture. They are just amazing with all the marks on their faces. It would have been cheaper to do European mounts but there's just nothing like the shoulder mounts. Good job.

Thanks! Yes sir, I’ve got a bull on the wall, so she decided to do a euro. She wanted to have the hide tanned so I caped it like a a zebra rug. I even got over the horns to keep the face! Hopefully it comes out the way I hope! I killed another,last week, I think I’m gonna have an artist friend carve the skull.

Missed this the first go 'round..... CONGRATULATIONS on the lucky hunt draw, the take of a beautiful animal and I'm sure you'll really enjoy the great table fare, Gemsbok has a fantastic flavor!

I had one of my Oryx full body hides tanned. With the head, looks cool.

That's fantastic. My ex wife hunted, not so much this one. But this one can cook it better. And this one is a hell of a sausage maker.
