Well, I hope you can still make the trip at some point. I need to up my count of how many GNers I've met ftf.

Y'all just let me know a couple weeks before and I'll be on my way!

Good one and just in time for Holloween
No bullet holes in that sign either, good score

[Zygomatic]

Halloween? That's been up in my garage full time for at least 10 years now... and you are right. That old plywood stop sign is not shot up.

Darn it I knew I spelled Halloween wrong

Finally tried it out last night

[Full Otto]

Been getting back into it again lately. Found some pretty good deals on ebay I couldn't pass up
Also got one of those Mountain Mike's plastic skull kits from amazon for these Fallow antlers



It's a pretty good mold right out of the box this one is the Black Forest type
Amazon offered me a gift card if I got their debit card so what the heck under $8 shipped in two days
A little to white for my liking so I used a little very thinned down wood stain "colonial maple" and then rubbed it all down with dirt just plain dirt. Smeared it it in the cracks and niches after scratching them out deeper. I'm happy with it

Also spruced up the porch wall that I started this thread with

Nice.

[Full Otto]

Just found another one



Guy at work surveying a ditch told me where to look. Finally got out today and found it
Down to mostly skeleton but still had to cut it free.
Haven't really had one with this much matter still on it. Lower jaws still attached and smelled pretty bad
Soaking it now to soften a little to clean better then boiling.
Never done that before but plan on using my Weber grill.
From what I've read it should work
...................
OK so I wound up using the stove kind of smelled like corned beef and cabbage so not horrible

[Schuetzenman]

Road kill or was it shot and the hunter lost it?

[Full Otto]

It may have been lost but appeared to be there longer than when hunting season opened so could have gotten hit
They head to the ditches to cool down from wounds I know, but some guys are thinking that blue tongue virus is showing up around here
Numbers are down but the ones that are here seem to be pretty big mature bucks not seen for the last few seasons
Migration maybe? I'm no longer with the surveyors dept but hope to find more on my own once and a while
