My 2017 North Missouri rifle buck

By my own standards he really wasn't big enough to spend the money on but I think he turned out ok.

Had a local guy do him and his turn around time and communication was the best I have yet to experience from any taxidermist. As I picked it up at his shop I was surprised at the quality of his African stuff.....you can bet I took notice.

He did good by you. A fine deer - and he obviously didn't come from a freak farm.

Glad you gave the guy a whirl. Nice job.
I know your pile of deer and get the size comment ( some folks get spoiled). but that is a nice deer.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
