Just in time for turkey season . My 15 year old sons goulds, my 5 bearded Merriams , both posing for the attention of a smoke phase hen . No idea why it turned the last 2 sideways .

yea the goulds is banded with a NM band....... pretty cool.......to bad NM game and fish turkey biologist would never return my calls to get the history behind it... my son shot it with his bow at 34 yards...... there are 5 color phases of turkey , the 1- regular "normal " color, 2-albino - very rare for true albino, 3- melinistic ( black )4- the smoke/grey, and 5- erytristic ( red phase) ..... I've seen 4 of the smoke-grey phase.... 2 in az and 2 in NM, 1 gobbler and 3 hens..... yea jeff that jackalope has been sitting on the shop bench waiting for ya...

Congrats to you and Cole both that is an awesome deal . Now if you'll just give up teaching too you'll have all kinds of time :) just teasing, they need good teachers. took my oldest down to a bull riding a few weeks ago and watched him win his first bull riding buckle, not quite like a state championship, but too see your kids grow up and see there accomplishment's is about as good as it gets.

anyone have an extra cape or two in the freezer they want to part with? have a customer that went to mexico came back with a nice buck but no cape. thanks tommy

10 will be plenty enough , ROUGHLY 60% will be hanging weight and 60% of that will be wrapped meet depending on how fat, how much trim you take off, debone etc.... for easy math 1000 lb animal hanging will be 600, take home 360 lbs.... i'de expect from a bison the yield would be a little less then the 60%.....

were ya located ? i'de take them if the trip wasn't a killer

do you guys have a "golden fan" package? or was that just something we locally did/came up with when we did the banquets here, I was on the committee for about 5 years then we quite doing them ..... didn't know if the golden fan was a standard thing that the banquets had or just something we came up with. thanks

I've got a pair of kentrek hardscrabble hunting/hiking boots. size 8M these are awesome boots, will keep your feet dry on those wet rainy mornings! they are brand new, Only wore them one time around the house to see how they fit.... they are a little small, so I need to sale them and get a bigger pair. they are $409.99 plus tax at sportsmans right now. save about $70 and get these at $400.00

ide take her, if you were closer to the taylor area, or ever make trips up this way with your trailer, I don't know when ide get down that way, let me know if you do.....she'd go good with my other 20 head. that calf isn't from the same herford bull is it? looks like its daddy is angus. either way i'de be interested. I have one looks just like her, and the funny thing is for the last 6 years with the same black angus bull she has had a different color of calf, white, , black, red, mouse color and this year a tan color....

any tried to putin for buffalo and noticed that in the printed regs there is a hunt number 7021, but in the on line sytem when you try to choose hunt numbers it SKIPS this number it has 7020 and 7022, BUT NOT the 7021......

Well my son earned his Eagle Scout , so been thinking of something cool to do so this is what I came up with .bought A Henry lever 22 & bought these 3 "coins " one is the Eagle Scout the other two are the scout law & oath , routered out the stock epoxied them in , completely sanded down & refinished the stock & put it all back together . The pictures don't do it justice , this finish really popped out the wood grain , it's really pretty , I like it better then the original ... His uncles & grandparents went in & had this knife made for him . What yawl think ?

to make them stronger ( if you think it needs it) you can take thin super glue and put on the inside part, were it is pourish.... the glue will fill in all the pores, bonding the hole thing together very well, it dries clear. you can then take your drimel and touch up as needed, it will also make it smoother against the finger while wearing it.

nice work jeff, I built my grandfathers a few yeas back, and did all elk antlers for the handles, and I carved "scenes" in the front of it with a dremel tool. it turned out really nice I thought, I just had to make sure the fiberglass "case" would fit over it, and that was it...... one thing to keep in mind is the lid depth, we lined his with some kind of white satin cloth ( I cant remember exactly now ) but anyway when they closed the lid ( after putting him in ) and then went to open it for the viewing that night, the "makeup" had rubbed off a little on the lid cloth because the lid wasn't as deep as some.... so it had some smugges on it.... so was one thing I hadn't thought about,...... anyway nice job....

my son is just finishing his eagle scout project and will have all the paper work done here shortly was thinkning of getting him a Golden boy and having it engraved, anyone know the best place,price to get one or have one they want to part with? shoot me a price thanks tommy

getting a class together for probably sat feb 14th, you have to of completed the online course, let me know if you have someone that needs this, classes have been hard to find up here on the mnt. tommy

when I talked to the lady at game and fish she said it didn't matter that it had "expired" , but yea the field days have been really hard to find at least anywhere up here, my son has the javy hunt feb 20th and the guy that is putting on the course said he would for sure get it done before then, he is looking at doing it feb 15th, but hasn't finalized it yet, but it WILL happen with in the next few weekends... he assures me sent ya a Pm on his contact info to get your nephew on the list.

Ive put lots of pic on here, ask mrs125coues how her goulds came out this year. go down about 5 posts to goulds gobblers and hens for pic

ive bee looking for one up in the wht mts for awhile now and right now there isn't much of anything anywhere, Call the game and fish and talk to the lady over hunter ed. I finally had my son do the online course and now we have to do a Saturday/sunday session.... ( field day) there is a couple coming up one in payson on sat the 10th and at the ben avery park, sun the 18th and I believe feb the 8th ... but other then that she didn't have much but call her and get on the waiting list and she will see what she can do, or that's what she told me... if you looking for the full blown course she could tell ya that as well... but they have been really hard for me to find one, especially anywhere close to the wht mnt... but give her a call. good luck! tommy

just finished up three more turkey mounts, a nice goulds gobbler, with a metal band on his leg, a kids first gobbler, and what one client thought was a gobbler

your very welcome, Glad it made it down to your place and hope it makes a great addition to your trophy room, hopefully you'll get the other one back soon, so you can have the pair of them to hang up together. thanks again for the opportunity to mount another fine gobbler

anyone in the white mnt area teach these field days, there is nothing listed on g&F websight.... and I know a whole bunch of kids that need the field day, before javy season..... and there hasn't been one offered anywhere close to here that I know of for a long time.... any help? thanks tommy
