Throwback to three years ago after a successful evening during the red deer rut.
Great memories come back to mind when reflecting on that special hunt, and the harvest of this management stag.
Despite her old age, our late dog “Gin” still had the passion to come with me that day. One last time. Of course she insisted to be “in” the high seat and therefore needed to be carried... Once up top, she kept watch all evening and saw the stag before me. Good shot made for a quick recovery and no tracking job for her but she couldn’t care less and stayed by “her” stag until we had to move her. I wonder who was the proudest - Gin or me?!
Great way to end a long and eventful hunting life for Gin, I am grateful for the great company and memories.

I missed the rut last year due to the pandemic and travel restrictions but I am on my way there now.
Some stories & pictures to follow hopefully 🤞🏻

Typical or non-typical roebucks ? Personally I love both and can’t wait to start hunting them tonight. On for 10 days of spot & stalk in France!

Always great to have returning customers, especially when they bring you a new species to work on. Got excited when BK called on his way back from West Texas asking me to prepare his first Aoudad. Probably the nicest euromount I got to do so far!

The Barbary Sheep, or “Arwi” in its native region, is mainly referred to as Aoudad in Texas. Like several other species, it has been introduced here and and is now roaming freely in most of West Texas and New Mexico.
Originally found in the Rocky Mountains of North Africa, where it is now rare, it can be hunted in Southeastern Spain and Southern USA.

When the timing is right and father & son take full advantage of the peak of the rut when the mature roebucks are out and about !

Nice mixed batch of euros went out to clients last week. The bobcats were by far the kids’ favorite ones to look at up close.
They like to see the whole process from live animals to skulls, while of course enjoying the sustainable meat on their plates.
I am “secretly” hoping to convince one or two to help out sooner than later with the euromounts but for now they watch and hand out tools.

12 weeks left before I get to admire sunrises and sunsets like these while chasing the elusive roebucks.
My first ever big game animal was a Roebuck and, 21 years later, small or big, typical or untypical, the buck fever is the same and remains a struggle sometimes when it comes to let the arrow fly or pull the trigger.

Given the measures in place to try to prevent further spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) across the US, hunters harvesting animals in Wyoming are mandated to boil the trophies prior to crossing the State border.

Boiling a trophy, often in a hurry, sometimes in the wild, with minimal equipment, makes it hard to get good results.
Unfortunately, once boiled and dried for several days/weeks/months, the remaining flesh is hard to get off and can prevent obtaining a perfect white colored bone. Nonetheless, if you happen to be in a similar situation or have old trophies that you want “refreshed”, bring it to The Euro Guy! We will work hard to achieve optimal finishes and help you preserve your hunting memories.

Throwback to three years ago, during a great spot & stalk in the British countryside, I got the chance to harvest this beautiful Chinese water deer.

Chinese water deer are not native to England, they were brought over from northeast China in the early 1900s and kept in Whipsnade Zoo and Woburn Park in Bedfordshire. Several individuals escaped and successfully populated the surrounding areas. The population quickly expanded and is now being managed. Chinese water deer are great to hunt in the wide open fields and very tasty to eat.

Finished the general season with a nice variety of trophies. Time to focus on javelinas, coyotes, bobcats, exotics and others.

Not sure my wife knew when I built our patio table that it had double use...

When JD’s sons head to South Texas, they come back with their hands full! Pleased to help preserve trophies from a great Father / Sons weekend.

Little fact about Nilgai: they are originally from India and are the largest Asian Antelope (bulls weigh in around 600 Lbs). Imported in Texas in the 1920s on the King Ranch, they thrived and can now be found many places in South Texas.

Throwback to a great sunny day, with the best driven hunt’s companion, topped by a nice underwater recovery.
