I remember seeing shoulder mounts as a kid and marveling at the size and beauty of the buck, and then the skill of whoever was responsible for putting him there. As a kid who didn’t hunt I figured it would be a long time before I ever had a need for a taxidermist, and I was right. I’ve been blessed to tag a handful of bucks in my 7 years of hunting, but ol’ Curly here was the first who required having his cape stay with his rack. I am still pinching myself that I ever got to the point where I could enjoy this experience.

The best part of all of this is I tagged and dragged him with my brother, dropped him off at the taxidermist with @kaitlyn.boucher and the kids, and picked him up with my dad.

Hunting brings people together.

Didn’t @oldbarntaxidermy do an incredible job with him? @loker_outdoors is one of the best artists in the field.

Now it’s your turn to tag your dream.
