Thanks, I'm kinda picky doing taxidermy, those rubbery tips and all... nothing ever quite looks right stripped.. I can spot those from across the room, hence my question. My only caribou was hard antlered and looks much better IMHO. Not taking anything away from you at all. Just got done dealing with a small velvet moose rack that will stay velvet.
Did ya use a bug suit and spray? Ever try Badger Bug Balm? Just used it in AK and it worked pretty good. Easeir than sweating deet into my eyes....
Plus I like hunting colder temps.... just me.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Great photos and congratulations. If you don't mind me asking, is that rain gear are you wearing in the photos, and if so, what kind and how did it work for you?
