Thanks for the info. What do you do with the skull?

I sell some, some I give to the farmers, they like to keep them in their office area.... I have given a few to some dentist and veterinarians.... Oddly enough, there are many people wanting one or two :)
They make for great conversation pieces, great in the man-cave or even as bookends :)

A 3x9 is plenty, I rarely zoom in more than a 7 or 8...... most times it stays at 4..
I like the a solid multi X style, it helps me see the cross hair lines easier... Those other scopes withe the dots are too small and the cross hair lines are too thin for me to pick up right away....
Always fun when they come running in and you try to get them to stop at the same time trying to centre them in the cross hairs, excitement at it's best :)
Good luck

Man those skulls really are pretty. I didn't know their teeth practically take up their whole face under all that fur.

Excellent work :thumbup: Having done a few euro mounts I know the work involve.
If I shoot a wolf, I will give it a try.
I also have problem with the mil-dots. Multi X for this old guy also.

Did you tan them yourselve or send them out?

Tan them myself..... Some come out better than others :)

Do you ever watch that "Mountain Men" show of which a good part is about how to tan?
