That mulie is $$$$$....story?

It’s a local buck I took in 2015. We are fortunate to be able to scout and hunt close to home. I switched over from Coues deer to Muleys after glassing a few of these. I’m ready to go back for Coues now after taking a few good mule deer.

You guys that have shoulder mounts in the garage... how do the hides hold up?

Mine are all good. I have a couple of open 5 gallon buckets with water.  I think it helps?

And....we have a winner!

Wallabies are considered a pest species in NZ, akin to our coyote. The farmers hate them because they come out of hiding at night and feed on the crops. I wouldn't want to do battle with one because the nails on those three toes would cut like a razor. 

I'll see if I can find an in-the-field photo. The mount was done by Marc Plunkett. It's no longer on the table, however, The bobcat/snake sits there now and the wallaby is atop the left side of the entertainment center.

Taadaaa. Somebody finally picked it out. Good show. 

I couldn't see the feet when I was there, but they sure look lethal in the photos. Looks like they have only three toes, huh?

The wallaby in the field...

These are another of NZ's pest species -- opossums. They come in various colors. Like the wallabies, we hunted them at night with spotlights.

This is the country where the wallabies hang out. They live in the cuts during the day and hit the fields at dark.

Ours are scattered throughout the living room. Lots more room and many years to go to add to the collection.
