    Bad taxidermy or high expectations?

    I'd say the ears are pretty noticeable at a distance. If I were ~50ft away I might not notice. The wife was the one that wanted this deer done. We found a place that was highly rated in our area and they were middle of the road price wise at $800. Other quotes were anywhere from $650-900.

    Bad taxidermy or high expectations?

    For reference, I've already decided to use a different taxidermist in the future because these guys didn't really do any of the requests we asked for. However, this has me worried they also did a bad taxidermy job but I may just be overthinking it and wanted opinions from others who have more...

    Athlon talos vs Argos spotting scope

    I'm not really a spotting scope guy. However, I just picked up a Talos to see if it's something I'd use before spending big money on a nice one. So far, it's been pretty sweet. Here's some photos of some cow elk at 1 mile. It was on 60x mag and my phone was on 3x zoom. S20FE phone. IMO, it does...

    Total 6 day MZ elk gear weight: 66.4lbs - is that crazy?

    Idk how far you're packing in or the time of year you're going but the pack out is going to be miserable. In addition, if you're to far back to early in the year your meat will spoil. IMO, if your legs can handle it then have fun. Personally, I would cut a lot of "comfort" stuff and get...

    Heat pump vs propane

    What's your design conditions? You can look it up at the link below. I highlighted Missoula's for example. If you wanna dive in further let me know. I'll need the manual J the HVAC contractor did on your house and local utility billing rates In short, heat pumps probably won't work well in...

    Mathews atlas arrow question

    I went back and got my actual results from the times I've speed tested my bow so I'm not just making stuff up anymore. Using the numbers I'm getting out of my bow, then correcting to your arrow and draw conditions. Your bow should be shooting around 275-280fps. If I were you, I'd start double...

    Mathews atlas arrow question

    After reading this thread. I'd be cautious about listening to that pro shop. Even though I'm not hunting with the atlas this year since i got all rifle tags, it's a flipping sweet bow. Let me know if you have any questions. You should definitely be able to shoot heavier arrows at fast speeds and...

    Mathews atlas arrow question

    If you're shooting this slow, you've got something else wrong. I'm shooting a similar weight arrow at ~65lbs and 32" draw at high 270 fps. I'm also shooting the atlas.

    Body Weight vs Draw Weight

    Hahahaha all you guys are posting tiny body masses. For the past year I've been 280lbs and pulling 70lbs. I would pull more but my bow shoots over 280fps when I do and I try to avoid that. However, I've pulled 70lbs since I was in high school and was a skinny 220lbs. For reference, my ideal...

    Stop my wife from having my critters mounted

    Well, the wife heard about this thread and thought the deer were cute. She wants me to kill one so if you wanna let someone join you and harvest one let me know lol. It also made her realize that they are spotted like cows which are "cute" and then she thought about having a cow stuffed. I...

    Stop my wife from having my critters mounted

    Dude, please send a picture. I just ran into a 5' long rattler and would have killed it if I knew this was possible.
