Can anyone point me to a quality taxidermist for a full strut mount Tom? I’m in eastern, Kansas. My taxidermist is too far behind and couldn’t take it.
I’d like to avoid the horror story I read regarding the gentleman’s elk. So, prior first hand experience would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

There are 5-6 well known budget strategies that people can research and see what fits their personality/goals. Personal finance is not a one-size fit approach. Define your goals first and then reverse engineer how much money it will take to accomplish that goal. I have found that the...
I second this. Personal Capital is an excellent financial tool to use and it's free. I have been using it for 5 years now. No issues with account security. At the beginning of use, their financial sales reps/advisors attempted to call me to pitch products. Since I DIY, I told them I would...
Currently, wife and I will target age 50-52 as retired (13 years to go). I don't know if that is what OP considers early or not. We'll have plenty to keep us busy. This can all change with the expansion of our family. I also don't bet on anything ever going according to plan. If not...
Agreed!
I spent two weeks at CSAT, over a two year period, to attend a couple of his courses. Read his book as well. He instills leadership foundational principles that are second to none. I got to be a TL during both courses and it was one of the best experiences of my career. Great, no...
Burning the candle at all ends will fatigue a person and send them to a dark place mentally, physically etc. A human only has so much fuel in the tank to perform. From first hand experience.
A couple things to research:
-Cortisol
-Adrenal fatigue
Those two things will silently kill...
2 hour spot and stalk on a bachelor group brought success yesterday. I’d been going after this bachelor group of toms for several weeks now. Probably 10 hunting days total. They had no response to calls throughout the season because they always had hens around. Stayed away from decoys. 3 blown...
I’ve ran my MR Pintler and Tenzing Day pack with this seat attached to the webbing on the bottom of the pack. Has worked well for me the past 10 years.
If I’m running a Fanny then I just take it off and strap it around my waist as well...
Arrowed this central KS gobbler last week! Couldn't get enough of the colors on this thing! 1st of 4 tags to fill between fiancé and I. We are heading back to the field this evening if the weather cooperates.
This year I have played around with my setup a bit to be more minimalistic and also more low profile/mobile. I have my MR pintler I carry with me but then also have a Cabela's hunting belt with several pouches so I can spot and stalk etc. I just drop the pintler and use the belt when needed...
Welcome! I’m also in Shawnee County/Topeka. Been buying points in Wyoming and Montana to plan my first archery elk hunt in the next few years as well. This forum is a great resource!
I spoke to a biologist last week. They said it was the lowest population they’d seen in 30 years. It will be interesting to see what numbers look like after the winter and come March when discussions on tags begin within WGF.
