The mountain lion was quite a project. Here's some progress pics of it...

I got my bulldog in August - GREAT DOG. Most loyal dog I've ever owned. Where ever I go he follows. Lots of fun, and not a mean bone in his body. I got him from No Man's Land Bulldogs in Oklahoma. Their main concern in breeding is health - very important with bulldogs. Really nice people too. .... My boy..

Got to go with my moose mount as my favorite.

Good job dude!!! Congrats!!!

I've hunted there a few times, when the muzzie season was in September. Despite the hunting pressure, you can still find some mature bucks in the area. This pic was almost 10 years ago, so it's been a while.

I think where the NM game and fish failed here, is to inform everybody that while we have to pay "up-front" the money was not going to be taken out until after the deadline has passed. I think a lot of people would have started putting in earlier had they known that.

Congrats Wayne. Way to make the most of it!!!

Gotta go with my moose as my favorite My AZ coes is a close second

This is one I took of Vinihunt on our moose/caribou hunt.

Is this ranch near Tatum? If so, I hunted it about 10 years ago. Not a lot of antelope, but there were some nice ones in there.

I was able to get on and get a youth cow elk tag for my son first thing this morning.

It's been a couple of years, so this info. may or may not be any good. While I was hunting coues in there the year before last, I saw pigs every day right behind Pinto Valley Mines. There was a little creek (not much water) right as you got out of the mines and onto public lands, and there were always pigs there.

That is a muley, isn't it? Either way, great find.

Before simmering skulls, I soak them in a bucket of water with Dawn detergent for about a week. It helps to take some of the grease out of the tissue before simmering, and also helps loosen up the tissue in the nasal cavity, too. I soak for a week, simmer in Salsoda for 30 to 45 min. (15 minute intervals, and pick off tissue in between) , and spend about a half hour cleaning it up a the end.

That is a great buck!!! Congrats.
