Few birds from last weekend

Yeah, it sucks shooting nice animals and then having to make the decision whether or not to take them to the taxidermist knowing what the bill is going to be.

One year, I shot a duck I really wanted to mount and then a couple of weeks later, shot my first antlered buck. The duck was my first ever trip to the taxidermist. Imagine my shock when I added up what the duck and deer mount were going to cost that year. The following year, my soon to be wife and I were looking at buying a home together and I shot another decent buck. Nothing about hunting, shooting, or fishing is cheap, except maybe the stories from friends.
