    Mountain Lion

    Thank you sir, I appreciate it! It isn’t a huge room, it’s only 12ft x 15ft. If I were building again I would triple the size. I have 2 small insets in each corner that I built some upright hickory gun rack that matches my cabinets to hold my long guns. We do use it for a storm shelter, etc. but...

    Mountain Lion

    Thank you!! In regards to my gun vault. It is 6 inch concrete walls with a 8 inch thick concrete ceiling, I studded the walls with steel studs, closed cell sprayed insulation then drywall. I designed and fabricated my own wall rack system to hang guns. Here are a couple pictures.

    Mountain Lion

    Thank you! In regards to my gun vault. It is 100% concrete walls and roof. I used steel studs, sprayed in insulation then drywall. I have custom made gun racks that I designed and built myself on the walls. For now it keeps my 5&7 year olds out of my trophy room!

    North Carolina Black Bear

    North Carolina Black Bear

    We didn’t sit over bait because it’s too hard to get in and out of the ground blinds or stands so they set up on trails between food and cover and catch them as they move back and forth. It must’ve been exceptionally dry this year which made it easy for us to get around. They recommended rubber...

    The taxidermist actually uses the heads of Grizzlies for the large black bears.

    North Carolina Black Bear

    When I first started researching for a bear hunt for a record class bear I was looking in British Columbia Vancouver Island, after trying to figure the logistics of traveling to Canada. I finally messaged one of the best bear taxidermists in the world, I asked him, if you had one chance to hunt...

    North Carolina Black Bear

    Highly recommend Tri County guide service in Pantego NC. The people and hospitality are second to none and the bear hunting is unbelievable, you won’t be disappointed. I passed up over 50 bears and finally got an opportunity at this bear which weighed in at 581 lbs.

    My Nevada mountain lion

    Thank you! We didn’t have a chance to weigh him, we had to break him down and pack him off the mountain before dark. But he was heavy and I found I’m not in as good of shape as I thought I was post holing thru snow up and down the mountains.

    Nebraska Booner

    Thank you! I don’t think B&C separates animals by the weapon they just ask these questions for general record keeping information. I regards to score, 80 inches is the minimum for entry for a B&C award, 82 inches puts an antelope in the all time record book.

    South Dakota Non Resident
