More irony:

If she loved the wheel, then she'll really love it when you buy her this gun for Father's Day. 😆

"What's the story on the animal?" It's dead, sorry I'm a smartass. 😉 Anyhow, I mounted this and that was my intention to make the habitat rock in the shape of a badger. It's hard to see but there is also a badger/den hole incorporated in this. I'll include another pick here that shows off the badger den depth, piled dirt in front of the hole and roots. Thanks for the "cool mount" comment. $700

Oh no you didn't. That other thread was filled with a lot of drama. LMAO

So far my options for death are from COVID-19 or fire. Can I get some other options (kinda funny/but not funny)? I hope it stays away from us (Star Valley/Payson). Actually, I hope it stays away from EVERYONE.

hoghntr, I did the taxidermy on that antelope and I'm flattered from your comment "Best looking mount I have ever seen for non traditional style". If you or your taxidermist is interested, I have another wagon wheel available. I bought two of them at an antique store and paid $90 each for them. If you or anyone else is interested, I'll sell it for that same price (they don't make them anymore). I'm attaching a pic of how I finished the back of the mount. I took actual antelope hooves and made a depression in the rock mix before it hardened.

Very true! There are always those who have to have the latest craze! The 30-06 has been around for a long time and will never go away. There might be some minor performance improvements in new calibers, but this caliber is tried and proven. It's kind of like the Mathew's bow company (and others) that come out with a new model EVERY year. Usually just some marketing hype to get you to buy the latest and greatest. To each their own.

Are you looking only for recommendations or if someone has one for sale?

I completely agree. Great for a wide variety of NA animals and one of the more popular calibers for African plains game. If a hunter is travelling (by air) and their ammo doesn't make it there, guess which caliber is readily available? The list of reasons goes on and on.

Thanks! That antelope was a one shot kill at 310 yards with that gun. Those are very accurate guns. There is a reason why there are a lot of Remington 700's at long range competitions.

Thanks! I actually shot that speed goat with that rifle. I'm not currently doing commercial taxidermy anymore, but I put that one together and was pretty happy with the mount & habitat scene.
