Everyone says spikes eat the best, I call bs, 3-4 year old bulls eat the better. The trophy is in the pan. Which berger? It obviously worked, but just wondering if you have an idea of impact velocity, and which one of the 300's it was and if you were happy with how it performed (aside from the obvious dead bull).

The trophy is in remembering the hunt and the stories we tell. What we hang on the wall and eat are what trigger those memories and generate the stories.

Impressive work!

Thank you !
Lots of practice and reloading went into the end results.
As far as the trophy goes I have mounted most of my wife's and myself's critters through the years . All are trophy's to us ! Some look at them and say well that's a small one , i say you should have been there it was an Amazing time together !

I quit getting any Taxidermy done when my Taxidermist passed away suddenly. He was a best friend .
I built this new hunting 338 Edge after my Surgery and a new chapter in hunting and Taxidermy along with it !
Life starts again!
I Thank God and the Amazing Team that saved my Life ! Please injoy what you have everybody!!
